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

Helsingør Kommune holds a strong market position as the official government authority for Helsingør, Denmark. Its business model is centered on providing essential public services and information to citizens and local businesses. The website supports multiple service areas including citizen administration, social services, education, environment, and culture, reflecting a comprehensive municipal service portfolio. The target audience is primarily local residents and businesses, with content tailored to their needs. The site leverages partnerships with external service providers for booking and chatbot functionalities, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of digital tools to enhance citizen engagement. The absence of commercial activities aligns with its government sector nature, focusing on service delivery rather than revenue generation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of DNSSEC and HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited in DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms include anti-forgery tokens, indicating secure input handling. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but would benefit from enhanced DNS and HTTP security measures and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the helsingor.dk domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party integrations and scripts to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

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.
