Risk levelHigh

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

Rowaco AB is a Swedish company specializing in the supply of laboratory equipment and services for research and industrial applications. Their offerings include vacuum technology, gas analysis, microscopy, spectroscopy, cryogenics, and related services. The company targets industrial researchers, universities, and scientific institutions, positioning itself as a trusted ISO-certified provider with a comprehensive product portfolio. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its audience. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Google Fonts, and Google Analytics, hosted on a custom CMS platform. While the site includes a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy compliant with GDPR, there is no visible HTTPS enforcement or advanced security headers in the HTML content, suggesting room for security improvements. Overall, the website is well-structured and trustworthy, with clear contact information and social media presence, but could enhance its security posture and transparency by adding terms of service and incident response details.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention rowaco.se, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for rowaco.se right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

Rowaco AB operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, serving research and industrial markets primarily in Sweden. Their business model is B2B, focusing on supplying specialized scientific equipment and turnkey systems. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through ISO certification, a broad product range, and strong customer support evidenced by detailed contact information and service offerings. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a stable market position and a focus on quality and compliance. The presence of LinkedIn as a partner social channel supports professional networking and business development. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting independent operation. The company’s strategic focus on research and industrial sectors aligns with their product and service portfolio, indicating a clear market niche and growth potential.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate security maturity level. It implements a cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls and a comprehensive privacy policy, indicating awareness of GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options in the HTML content is a notable gap. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager is standard but requires proper configuration to ensure privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. To improve security posture, the company should enforce HTTPS, add security headers, publish incident response contacts, and consider a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with HSTS to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add essential security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish an incident response or abuse contact page to improve security transparency.
  4. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics for privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform using Bootstrap 4 and jQuery, with integration of Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit for typography. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for traffic analysis and marketing. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but no advanced optimization details. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement. SEO is adequately addressed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
