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

Blika is an Icelandic weather information website providing accurate and updated weather forecasts, observations, and camping site information across Iceland. The site targets Icelandic residents and visitors interested in weather conditions, offering a range of weather-related services including detailed forecasts, wind predictions, and weather maps. The business operates in the weather information sector with a focus on Icelandic geography and climate. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site integrates Google Analytics for user tracking and Airserve for advertising, indicating a monetization model based on ads and data insights. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection for the domain registration, which is common for Icelandic domains. Overall, the website is professional and functional but could enhance trust and compliance by adding clear privacy and security policies and contact information.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

Blika holds a niche position as a weather information provider focused on Iceland, serving both locals and tourists. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, detailed weather data and additional outdoor activity information such as camping and hiking trails. The business model appears to be ad-supported with user analytics for optimization. The target customer segments include outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and residents requiring reliable weather updates. The partnership ecosystem includes ad networks like Airserve and analytics providers like Google Analytics. Growth indicators are not explicit but the use of modern technology and advertising suggests ongoing operational activity. Strategic observations include the need to improve transparency and compliance to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields were detected, minimizing attack surface from user input. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts and consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to minimize privacy risks and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and client-side interactivity. CSS is modular and optimized for responsive design, providing good mobile usability. The site loads asynchronously loaded JavaScript chunks and uses external scripts for ads and analytics. Performance is moderate with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy 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.
