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

6 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

      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"

    • 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

Sandstens Tryckeri operates primarily in the manufacturing sector, focusing on printing services for B2B clients. Their market position is that of a local, trusted printing provider with a century-long legacy. The business model includes direct sales via a webshop and personalized printing services. The company leverages social media channels for marketing and maintains a professional online presence. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, indicating an independent operation. The website content and structure suggest a focus on quality, customer service, and compliance with privacy regulations, which are critical competitive advantages in the printing industry.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent banner that categorizes cookies by purpose and duration. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are not detected in the HTML source. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Mailchimp is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the source. To enhance security posture, the company should implement security headers, publish a security policy, and consider a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Pinnacle Premium theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates several plugins such as Slider Revolution for visual content, CookieYes for cookie consent management, and Mailchimp for email marketing. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive image sizes. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the source. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for the business needs, with opportunities for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
