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

VLAVI Group is a professional European welding company specializing in providing certified welders, assemblers, pipefitters, and installers primarily serving industrial clients in Scandinavia. With over 7 years of experience and a workforce exceeding 200 skilled professionals, VLAVI positions itself as a reliable partner for companies requiring high-quality welding and assembly services. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with a clear focus on manufacturing and industrial sectors, emphasizing certifications and quality standards adherence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for consent management, ensuring GDPR-related compliance mechanisms are in place. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a solid security posture. However, the site lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, and no direct contact information such as emails or phone numbers were found in the analyzed HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are also absent, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, VLAVI Group's digital presence is professional and trustworthy, with room for improvement in privacy transparency and contact accessibility to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

VLAVI operates in the manufacturing and energy sectors, focusing on welding and assembly services for industrial clients in Scandinavia. Their business model revolves around employing certified specialists and offering their services on demand to companies. The company leverages certifications such as EN 1090 and ISO standards to differentiate itself and build trust. Testimonials and client project counts indicate a stable market position with a growing client base. The absence of direct contact details on the website suggests a possible reliance on indirect communication channels or separate contact pages not included in the analyzed content. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified, indicating a focused operational scope.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS and Content Security Policy. Cookie consent is actively managed via Cookiebot with blocking mode enabled, reflecting GDPR awareness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. Enhancing transparency around security practices and providing clear channels for incident reporting would improve the overall security maturity and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including security contact emails.
  3. Include clear company contact information such as official emails and phone numbers on the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update security headers and consent mechanisms to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The use of Google Fonts and responsive design indicates attention to user experience and branding consistency. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility. No CMS or hosting provider details were identified from the provided content. The site structure and meta tags support good SEO practices, though further enhancements could be made to improve discoverability and accessibility compliance.
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.
