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

Digitaliseringsministeriet is the Danish Ministry of Digitalization, responsible for shaping Denmark's digital future and ensuring inclusive digital transformation across the public sector. The website serves as an official government portal providing information about digitalization policies, news, career opportunities, and contact details. It targets Danish citizens and public sector stakeholders, positioning itself as a national authority in digital governance. The business model is that of a government entity focused on policy leadership and public service delivery. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with the GoBasic CMS, hosted by Sitnet, and uses standard web technologies including jQuery. While the site is functional and accessible with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, its performance is slow with a load time near 12 seconds, indicating room for optimization. Security posture is adequate with valid SSL, SPF, and DMARC policies, but lacks advanced security headers and HSTS enforcement. Privacy compliance is strong with clear cookie consent and a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, reflecting its government status.

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.

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

The ministry holds a strong market position as a government authority in Denmark, focusing on digital transformation initiatives. Its competitive advantage lies in its official mandate and integration with other government institutions such as Digitaliseringsstyrelsen and Danmarks Statistik. Revenue streams are government-funded, with no commercial activities. The target customer segments include Danish citizens, businesses interacting with public digital services, and public sector employees. Growth indicators include ongoing digital policy initiatives and public engagement through news and career portals. The partnership ecosystem includes other Danish government agencies and institutions. Strategic observations highlight the ministry's role in driving national digital agendas and the importance of maintaining high trust and security standards given its public sector role.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with foundational protections such as HTTPS, SPF, and DMARC with reject policy, reducing email spoofing risks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options indicates gaps that could be exploited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The security culture appears cautious but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on an ASP.NET Web Forms framework with GoBasic CMS, indicating a traditional Microsoft stack. It uses jQuery for client-side scripting and includes custom scripts for UI and search functionality. Hosting is provided by Sitnet, a Danish hosting provider. The site lacks modern protocol support details and cipher suite information, suggesting potential for upgrading TLS configurations. Performance is suboptimal with a 12-second load time and a page size of approximately 240 KB. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, contributing to good accessibility scores. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. The site is mobile optimized and uses a responsive design. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
