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

Tangar Technologies AB is a Swedish technology company specializing in augmented reality (AR) indoor navigation solutions. Their flagship product, Tangar Navigator, enables users to create and deploy AR-based indoor navigation routes using only smartphones, targeting businesses and organizations that require indoor wayfinding capabilities. The company operates on a subscription and pay-per-usage model, offering a free trial to new users. Tangar positions itself as an innovative player in the AR navigation market with a focus on accessibility and ease of use. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, integrating Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is well-structured with good SEO practices and mobile optimization, though some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with multimedia content such as videos and images enhancing user engagement. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with validation. However, it lacks several security headers and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or detailed GDPR compliance indicators. The domain registration details align well with the company's claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, Tangar's website reflects a professional and credible business with solid technical infrastructure but could improve in privacy compliance and security transparency to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

      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.

Business context

Business profile

Tangar Technologies AB operates in the AR indoor navigation sector, targeting industries such as security, warehouse management, hotels, retail, and museums. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a hardware-free, smartphone-based AR navigation solution that is easy to set up and scalable via subscription plans. Revenue streams include pay-per-usage fees and annual Pro Plan subscriptions. The company demonstrates growth through partnerships and support from innovation agencies like Vinnova and PTS, and participation in accelerator programs. Their marketing ecosystem includes social media channels and content marketing via news and blog updates. Strategic observations suggest a focus on accessibility and sustainability aligned with UN goals, positioning Tangar as a socially responsible innovator in the AR space.

Security posture

Tangar's security posture is moderate to good. The website uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. Contact forms are implemented with validation to prevent injection attacks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No public security or incident response policies are available, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program reduces avenues for responsible reporting of security issues. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and privacy mechanisms are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website, including dedicated contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries and ensure ongoing security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using version 6.7.2, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Contact Form 7 for user input forms. The tech stack includes jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing analytics. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with video content and multiple external resources potentially impacting load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
