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

AB Syna is a well-established Swedish company specializing in credit reporting and market information services since 1947. Their website, upplysningar.syna.se, targets Swedish businesses and government entities, offering credit reports, register maintenance, market analysis, and subscription-based services. The company emphasizes professional service, personal support, and compliance with GDPR regulations. Technically, the website uses modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, anti-forgery tokens, and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data for the subdomain is noted but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the company's established presence and consistent branding. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and compliant, serving a clear B2B finance sector niche.

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

7 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

AB Syna holds a strong market position in Sweden's credit information sector, leveraging decades of experience and a broad customer base. Their business model includes both one-off credit report purchases and subscription services, catering to diverse client needs. The company maintains a trusted brand with certifications like Syna Sigill and provides API access for integration. Their partnership ecosystem includes related domains for subscription management and certification services. The company targets medium-sized enterprises and government agencies, focusing on risk management and customer insights. Growth indicators include new subscription offerings and digital marketing efforts. The website content and testimonials reinforce their credibility and customer satisfaction.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent abuse, and anti-forgery tokens to protect against CSRF attacks. Cookie consent is implemented via CookieScript, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected and should be added to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available on the site, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security practices align well with industry standards for a finance-related B2B service.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap framework and jQuery, with integration of Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and spam prevention. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The site uses anti-forgery tokens on forms and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating attention to security and privacy. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience suitable for the company's business model.
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.
