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

Wackes AB is a Swedish company specializing in promotional products, brand activation, and staff apparel solutions. Positioned as part of the Prominate group, it serves a global B2B market with a focus on sustainable and strategic promotional solutions. The website reflects a professional digital presence with clear branding and content tailored to business clients seeking to enhance brand experience through promotional merchandise. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and optimized with WP Rocket, integrating modern tracking and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. While the site employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, explicit privacy and security policies are not found in the provided content, indicating areas for compliance improvement. Overall, the security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but the absence of security headers and incident response information suggests room for enhancement. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

    • 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

  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

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

Wackes operates in the retail sector focusing on promotional marketing products and brand activation services. Its affiliation with Prominate provides a competitive advantage through global reach and localized campaign adaptation. The business model is B2B, targeting companies seeking to strengthen brand identity and customer loyalty via physical and digital promotional solutions. The website content and case studies demonstrate a focus on sustainability and innovation, appealing to environmentally conscious clients. The presence of multiple social media channels and a structured content strategy indicates active marketing efforts. The company size is medium, founded in 2021, with a clear emphasis on quality and client engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications, and uses reputable plugins for performance and GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS are detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were found in the analyzed content, reducing immediate risk of injection attacks. Tracking scripts are present but managed via consent mechanisms. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, publish security policies, and establish incident response channels to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the website footer or main menu.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Establish and publish incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and WP Rocket for caching and optimization. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site uses minified CSS and JavaScript for performance and lazy loading techniques to improve load times. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin with well-structured metadata and JSON-LD schema. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are addressed at a basic to good level. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more explicit privacy compliance documentation.
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.
