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

    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

Softhouse holds a strong market position in Sweden as a leading IT consultancy with recognized expertise in AI and software development. Their business model combines bespoke consulting services with packaged offerings, targeting enterprises and product companies seeking digital innovation and acceleration. The company leverages a broad service portfolio including AI/ML, app development, UI/UX, cloud solutions, and nearshore services. Their marketing ecosystem is robust, utilizing multiple digital channels and analytics platforms to engage and convert clients. The presence of a dedicated job portal and active social media channels indicates ongoing growth and talent acquisition efforts. Partnerships with press and news distribution services further enhance their market visibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and trust. Forms include consent checkboxes aligned with privacy policies, but additional anti-bot measures could strengthen form security. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid introducing vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent spam and abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, integrating a variety of third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and user engagement. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of key scripts, but the site could benefit from further optimization for speed. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessibility features implemented. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data (JSON-LD). The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to improve technical security and performance further.
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.
