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

Dagspress.se is a Swedish media industry website operated by Tidningsutgivarna (TU), the leading national association for media publishers in Sweden. The site provides media statistics, tools, and information primarily targeting media professionals, advertisers, and researchers. TU represents a broad spectrum of media outlets including newspapers, TV, radio, and digital platforms, positioning itself as a key industry resource. The website content is well-structured, professionally designed, and offers relevant, up-to-date information about the media sector in Sweden. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies such as lazy loading and Google Fonts, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible, but could enhance user trust and compliance by adding privacy-related documentation and security policies.

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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The website serves as an authoritative platform for media data and statistics in Sweden, leveraging partnerships with Kantar Media/Mediafacts and TU. Its business model is that of an industry association providing data services and informational resources rather than direct commercial offerings. The target audience includes media companies, advertisers, and researchers interested in media consumption and advertising trends. The site’s market position is strong within Sweden’s media sector, supported by its official backing and comprehensive data offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes key data providers and social media channels that enhance reach and credibility. Growth indicators include regular updates on media statistics and reports, signaling active engagement with the media community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is a gap in security transparency. Forms on the site are minimal and appear secure, but no explicit security frameworks or certifications are referenced. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also represents a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link to a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider obtaining recognized security certifications or frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001) to boost business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme and builder, which provides a flexible and responsive design. It uses jQuery and LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization, along with Google Fonts for typography. The site loads scripts asynchronously and employs lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate to good performance. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting SEO best practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for modernization in security and privacy 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.
