Risk levelMedium

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Ratos is a Nordic investment group focusing on developing mid-sized companies in technological and infrastructure sectors. The company operates a decentralized governance model that fosters synergies among its subsidiaries, creating value for shareholders and society. The website presents comprehensive business information, press releases, and investor relations content, targeting investors and business stakeholders. Technically, the site uses modern analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Azure Application Insights, hosted likely on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and professional content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and enhanced security disclosures.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Ratos holds a strong market position as a Nordic investment group with 14 subsidiaries across technology, energy, construction, and services sectors. Its business model centers on acquiring and developing companies with potential to become market leaders, leveraging a unique decentralized governance approach. The company targets investors and partners interested in sustainable and profitable growth in the Nordic region. The presence of detailed investor information, press releases, and governance content indicates a mature and transparent corporate structure. The partnership with Sentia and the diverse portfolio of subsidiaries reflect a broad ecosystem. Revenue streams likely derive from investment returns, dividends, and operational synergies. The company’s focus on sustainability aligns with market trends and regulatory expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a corporate website but can be improved by adopting best practices and enhancing communication on security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Continue monitoring and auditing third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Azure Application Insights for monitoring and analytics. The hosting environment is likely Microsoft Azure, inferred from the telemetry scripts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS or framework is explicitly detected from the HTML source. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus and comprehensive content sections. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated technologies, but security header implementation is lacking.
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.
