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

Finansinspektionen is the Swedish government financial supervisory authority responsible for ensuring a stable financial system, high consumer protection, and sustainable development in finance. The website serves as an official communication channel providing regulatory information, reports, consumer education, and updates on financial market supervision. It targets the general public, financial institutions, and consumers in Sweden. The domain is well-established since 1994, reflecting a mature and authoritative presence in the financial regulatory sector. Technically, the website employs a modern but straightforward technology stack including jQuery, Font Awesome, and a custom video player. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices. However, no explicit CMS or hosting provider details are evident. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security policies such as incident response or vulnerability disclosure. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistency with a government entity. Social media presence is official and consistent with the organization's branding. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, suitable for its role as a government regulator. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency, cookie consent, and security headers would enhance compliance and user trust.

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

5 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

Finansinspektionen holds a critical position as Sweden's financial supervisory authority, overseeing financial market stability, consumer protection, and sustainability. Its business model is government-funded regulatory oversight, with no commercial revenue streams. The target audience includes financial institutions, consumers, and the general public seeking regulatory information and guidance. The organization benefits from a strong market position as an official authority with a long history and recognized brand. The website supports transparency and public engagement through reports, news, and educational content. Partnerships are implied through social media and external references but no explicit partner domains were identified. The organization's operations emphasize regulatory compliance, market supervision, and consumer education.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (such as CSP, X-Frame-Options), and published security policies indicates areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder coordinated security incident handling. The use of up-to-date libraries like jQuery 3.6.0 reduces risk from known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a government site but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in HTTP security headers, DNS security, and transparency in security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  5. Publish clear security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, Font Awesome 6, and a third-party video player (Screen9) to deliver a rich user experience. The HTML and CSS are well-structured with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No explicit CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in resource loading and caching. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA landmarks and roles. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
