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

Virksomhedsguiden.dk is an official Danish government website operated by Erhvervsstyrelsen (the Danish Business Authority). It provides business guidance, particularly focusing on data usage and sharing agreements, supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. The site targets businesses and public sector entities in Denmark, offering templates and regulatory information to facilitate compliant data sharing. The platform is well-positioned as a trusted government resource with a clear focus on compliance and user consent management. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and integrates privacy-focused analytics via Piwik PRO. It features a detailed cookie consent mechanism that categorizes cookies by purpose and allows granular user control, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no visible security.txt or explicit incident response contact information, which could be improved. The privacy compliance is strong, with GDPR-aligned policies and transparent cookie management. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, Virksomhedsguiden.dk presents a secure, professional, and trustworthy government service platform. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clearer security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust further.

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

3 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Virksomhedsguiden.dk serves as a key digital touchpoint for Danish businesses seeking guidance on data sharing and business intelligence within the public sector framework. Its market positioning as a government-backed platform lends it significant authority and trust. The business model focuses on providing regulatory information and practical tools rather than commercial services, targeting SMEs and public entities. The platform leverages partnerships with analytics and cookie consent providers to maintain compliance and user trust. Growth indicators include ongoing updates to privacy policies and integration of modern web technologies. The ecosystem is primarily governmental, with no evident commercial subsidiaries or partners disclosed on this page.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and a robust cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR requirements. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in domain security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site lacks explicit security policy and incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and readiness. Overall, the security culture appears strong, with privacy and user consent prioritized. Recommendations include publishing a security.txt file and providing clear incident response contacts to improve security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Continue maintaining and updating cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Vue.js as its frontend framework, indicating a modern and maintainable codebase. It integrates Piwik PRO for analytics, which is privacy-focused and GDPR compliant. The cookie consent is managed via CookieInformation.com scripts, providing granular user control. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured content. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and module preloading observed. No CMS is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal, but enabling DNSSEC and publishing security-related files would strengthen the infrastructure.
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.
