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

11 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

VUAB holds a strong market position in the Swedish bioenergy sector, leveraging its long history and certifications like the Nordiskt Tillväxtcertifikat. The business model is B2B focused, providing turnkey installations and services that cater to industrial customers seeking sustainable energy solutions. The company maintains active social media channels and a comprehensive contact infrastructure, indicating engagement and customer support capabilities. The website content and structured data reinforce the company’s credibility and market focus. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent operation. The company targets industrial sectors requiring process steam and heating, emphasizing sustainability and local resource utilization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent via Cookiebot, and use of Google Tag Manager for analytics. No critical security headers were detected, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The contact form includes consent checkboxes, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Gravity Forms for form handling, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Flickity for carousel functionality. It uses jQuery and custom JavaScript for interactivity. The site loads external scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical scripts to optimize performance. Mobile responsiveness is well implemented with adaptive layouts and media queries. SEO is enhanced with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in caching and resource optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present, with ARIA roles and alt attributes. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website suitable for its business purpose.
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.
