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

Danmarks Domstole is the official website for the Danish judiciary system, providing comprehensive information about courts, legal topics, and public services related to the Danish legal system. The site targets Danish citizens and legal professionals seeking authoritative legal information. It maintains a strong market position as the official government portal for judiciary matters in Denmark. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and integrates a third-party chat service (Puzzel) for user support. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with good SEO practices and a professional design. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a robust cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating compliance with GDPR. However, explicit security headers and a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure are not present, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, with a low risk profile.

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.

  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 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';…

  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

The website serves as a critical government resource for the Danish judiciary, offering detailed legal information and services such as contact points, press information, and job listings. Its business model is public service, funded and operated by the Danish government. The site’s competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of legal topics. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. The target customer segments include Danish residents, legal professionals, and media. Growth indicators include ongoing updates to content and integration of user support tools. The partnership ecosystem includes third-party analytics and chat providers like Siteimprove and Puzzel. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining high trust and compliance standards given the sensitive nature of judiciary information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party services is transparent and consent-based. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. Additionally, no public security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which could improve transparency and readiness. The site does not expose any known vulnerable libraries. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced HTTP header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Maintain and update cookie and privacy policies to reflect any changes in data processing or third-party services.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including jQuery and Cookiebot for cookie management, and integrates Puzzel chat for user interaction. The HTML structure is valid and supports accessibility standards. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though no explicit performance metrics were available. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph properties. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. There is no detected CMS or framework explicitly mentioned, suggesting a custom or government-managed platform. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of security headers and public security documentation represents a potential area for technical debt and improvement.
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.
