The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates modern web technologies such as React and uses Klarna's CDN infrastructure.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

PriceRunner operates in the competitive e-commerce sector as a price comparison service, targeting Swedish consumers seeking the best deals and product reviews. Its business model revolves around aggregating product data and prices from a large network of retailers, likely monetizing through affiliate partnerships and advertising. The association with Klarna enhances its market credibility and operational capabilities. The platform's extensive product catalog and user engagement features such as watchlists and reviews indicate a mature service with significant market penetration. Strategic partnerships with Klarna and integration of advertising and analytics tools support its revenue streams and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security-related meta tags, and nonce usage in scripts to mitigate injection risks. However, it lacks explicit published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced transparency around data protection and incident handling to align with best practices and regulatory expectations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with formal documentation and user-facing security assurances.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a security.txt file and clear vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security transparency.
  3. Publish incident response and security contact information to build trust and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider adding explicit Content Security Policy headers to strengthen defense against XSS attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with Emotion CSS-in-JS styling and is served via Klarna's CDN infrastructure, ensuring good performance and scalability. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. While the technical implementation is solid, there is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit security header implementation. The absence of CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and user-friendly e-commerce experience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
