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

Folkhälsomyndigheten is the Swedish Public Health Agency, a national government authority dedicated to promoting health, preventing illness, and protecting against health threats in Sweden. The website serves as an authoritative source for public health information, statistics, publications, and event announcements, targeting the general public, health professionals, and governmental bodies. It holds a strong market position as the official public health entity in Sweden, offering comprehensive services including microbiology, infectious disease control, and health promotion. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5, with integrations for cookie consent management (Cookiebot), search enhancements (RekAI), and tag management (Extellio). The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and uses a CMS likely based on EPiServer. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses anti-CSRF tokens, and manages cookie consent effectively. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a public security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, indicating a mature security posture appropriate for a government agency. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR. The absence of WHOIS data for the www subdomain is noted but does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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

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

Folkhälsomyndigheten operates as a government agency focused on public health in Sweden, providing vital health data, guidance, and educational resources. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive public health mandate. The business model is non-commercial, funded by government resources, targeting citizens, healthcare providers, and policymakers. Growth indicators include active publication of reports, hosting of events, and ongoing public health campaigns. The agency leverages partnerships with other government bodies and health organizations but no commercial subsidiaries or partners were identified. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong content and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection, and cookie consent management. The use of session and persistent cookies is well documented and privacy compliant. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could limit transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms like security.txt. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure no privacy or security risks.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5, and uses third-party services for consent management (Cookiebot), search autocomplete (RekAI), and tag management (Extellio). The CMS is likely EPiServer, inferred from cookie names. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. There is no explicit hosting provider identified. Technical risks are minimal but could include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which should be regularly reviewed for 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.
