The Danish Cultural Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering artistic and cultural encounters between Denmark and other countries. It operates internationally with branches in multiple countries and focuses on projects that promote equality, sustainable development, democracy, and civil society. The website reflects a well-structured and professionally maintained digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS and common web technologies. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly presented with consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR standards. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though explicit incident response contacts and security policies are not found. The absence of WHOIS registration data reduces domain trustworthiness but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy based on content and external references.

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
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization holds a solid market position as a cultural diplomacy entity with a broad international footprint. Its business model revolves around cultural exchange and partnership facilitation rather than commercial revenue. The website's multilingual support and extensive program listings indicate a mature partnership ecosystem. The presence of multiple subsidiary domains and partner sites supports its international operations. The business targets cultural institutions, artists, and international partners, emphasizing values aligned with social development and democracy.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Tracking technologies such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used responsibly with cookie consent. However, the lack of explicit incident response contact information and security policy documentation suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could enhance trust and security culture.
Recommendations
Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
Add a dedicated security policy page referencing recognized frameworks like ISO 27001 or NIST.
Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress 6.7.1 with Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. Use of CDN-hosted libraries (jQuery, CSS) and asynchronous loading of scripts suggests attention to performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical stack supports the organization's digital maturity but could benefit from ongoing modernization and security hardening.
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.
