Ryter kommunikationsbyrå AB is a Swedish communications agency that merged with Baringo reklam & kommunikation in November 2022, forming a robust team of senior communication consultants. The company offers services including communication consultancy, graphic design, branding, and web development, targeting businesses and organizations seeking professional marketing and communication solutions. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and uses Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking. The technical infrastructure is solid with HTTPS and a moderate performance profile, though some security headers are missing.

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

13 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company positions itself as a senior communications consultancy merged with a partner agency, indicating strategic growth and regional presence in Sweden. Their business model is service-based, focusing on communication and marketing services. The website content and portfolio images demonstrate a professional approach with consistent branding. The partnership with Baringo reklam & kommunikation strengthens their market position. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce elements are present, indicating a pure service consultancy model. The company targets organizations needing communication expertise, leveraging senior consultants and creative services.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Matomo analytics configured with sendBeacon, reflecting good privacy-aware practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism is a compliance risk under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, indicating limited formal security governance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard security headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response readiness and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct usability testing to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using Oxygen Builder and several plugins including Accordion Blocks and PhotoSwipe for galleries. jQuery 3.7.1 is used as a JavaScript library. Matomo analytics is deployed for user tracking with privacy considerations. The site uses HTTPS with canonical URLs and has well-structured metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD schema for SEO. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small communications agency, but security headers and privacy compliance need enhancement.
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.
