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

9 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company targets both corporate and private customers in the Skåne region, providing tailored security solutions. Their business model combines service contracts with product sales via a webshop. Sydsec leverages certifications and local partnerships to build trust and competitive advantage. The presence of customer login portals and integration with third-party services like Guardtools indicates operational maturity. Marketing efforts include testimonials and social responsibility messaging, enhancing brand reputation. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on regional dominance rather than global expansion.

Security posture

Sydsec maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling including GDPR consent and CAPTCHA quizzes, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy and cookie consent banners suggests room for improvement. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools, which require ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy risks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers like Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and SEO benefits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, using jQuery and several modern JavaScript libraries such as Isotope and LazySizes for UI enhancements and performance optimization. Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp are integrated for analytics and marketing automation. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and lazy loading of images. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The technical infrastructure supports the business model effectively but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
