Their website offers comprehensive information and digital services related to grid connections, subscriptions, billing, and outage information, targeting both private and business customers. The company is positioned as a key player in the Swedish energy sector with a strong brand presence and parent company affiliation to Vattenfall. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including Angular framework and integrates Microsoft Application Insights and Google Tag Manager for monitoring and analytics.

Security best practices such as HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not published. The security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of WHOIS domain registration data for the domain 'www.vattenfalleldistribution.se' is a notable anomaly that reduces trust slightly.

Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, providing vulnerability disclosure information, and clarifying domain registration details to enhance trust and transparency.

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.

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

Vattenfall Eldistribution holds a strong market position as a large-scale electricity distributor in Sweden, leveraging its parent company Vattenfall's brand and resources. The business model centers on regulated energy distribution services with a focus on customer self-service and digital transformation. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees, connection charges, and service fees. The company targets both residential and commercial customers, emphasizing sustainability and smart grid technologies. Partnerships and service portals indicate a well-integrated ecosystem supporting installers and partners. Growth indicators include investments in smart meters and grid modernization projects. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear navigation and relevant content supporting customer engagement and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of reputable analytics and monitoring tools. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure channels represents a compliance gap. The missing WHOIS domain registration data raises questions about domain legitimacy, which should be addressed to avoid trust issues. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal documentation to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response page on the website.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and accessible.
  4. Add contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 19.2.13, leveraging modern JavaScript modules and polyfills for compatibility. It uses Microsoft Application Insights and Google Tag Manager for telemetry and analytics, indicating a robust monitoring setup. The site is hosted with CDN support for static assets, contributing to fast load times and good performance. Accessibility features such as ReadSpeaker integration and keyboard focus management are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No common CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and the unexplained absence of WHOIS domain data, which could impact trust and domain management.
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.
