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

Försäkringskassan is the Swedish government agency responsible for managing social insurance benefits such as parental leave, sickness benefits, and support for persons with disabilities. The website serves a broad audience including parents, sick individuals, job seekers, students, entrepreneurs, and those moving or working abroad. It provides comprehensive information and e-services related to social insurance. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and consistent with government standards, reflecting its authoritative position in the Swedish social welfare system. Technically, the site uses SiteVision CMS, jQuery, and Matomo analytics, indicating a mature but privacy-conscious digital infrastructure. The website is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and relevant metadata for SEO. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers are not explicitly detected and could be improved. WHOIS data for the www subdomain is missing, but this is likely due to the main domain forsakringskassan.se being the registered entity. Overall, the site is trustworthy, secure, and compliant with GDPR requirements, serving as a critical digital interface for Swedish social insurance services.

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

      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

The agency operates as a large government entity in Sweden, providing essential social insurance services. Its market position is unique as a national authority with no direct competitors in its sector. The business model is public service funded by the government, focusing on benefit administration and citizen support. The website supports multiple user segments with tailored content and e-services, indicating a user-centric approach. The presence of official social media channels and comprehensive policy pages reflects a transparent and engaged communication strategy. No commercial advertising or affiliate programs are detected, consistent with its government status. The agency's digital presence supports its mandate to provide accessible and reliable social insurance information and services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. Use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-respecting approach to user tracking. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others are not evident in the HTML content and should be audited and implemented if missing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site lacks a published security.txt or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy, which could enhance incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers and formal vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of contact emails for support and security incident reporting to improve user trust and responsiveness.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, leveraging JavaScript and jQuery for client-side interactivity. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for open-source and privacy-friendly tools. The site is well-structured with appropriate meta tags, Open Graph tags, and responsive design elements ensuring good SEO and mobile usability. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS resources loaded, but no evident performance bottlenecks. Accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA roles are present, supporting inclusive design. The lack of explicit security headers and missing WHOIS data for the www subdomain are minor technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for a large government service portal.
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.
