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

It-bloggar.se is a Swedish niche website dedicated to promoting and ranking Swedish IT and technology blogs. The platform serves as a curated directory that helps Swedish IT bloggers gain visibility and encourages visitor engagement through comments and visits. The site is operated under the brand TodaysWeb and Game Lounge Limited, indicating a small but focused business entity. The website's content is well-structured, mobile responsive, and uses Bootstrap 3 for styling, providing a good user experience for its target audience. However, the lack of WHOIS data for the exact domain queried and absence of explicit HTTPS information introduces some uncertainty about the domain's registration status and security posture. The site includes a basic privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms and detailed contact information, which are areas for improvement in privacy 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

10 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 business operates as a directory and promotional platform for Swedish IT blogs, monetizing likely through advertising and partnerships with related sites such as handladigitalt.se and artikelparadis.se. The market position is niche and focused on Swedish IT bloggers and readers interested in technology news and reviews. The platform's longevity since 2007 suggests stable operations, although domain registration inconsistencies should be clarified. The partnership ecosystem includes TodaysWeb and Game Lounge Limited, which provide credibility and operational support. The business model centers on content curation, ranking, and community engagement, targeting a specialized audience within the Swedish technology sector.

Security posture

The website currently shows limited security measures based on the provided data. There is no explicit evidence of HTTPS enforcement or modern security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. The absence of contact information and security or incident response policies reduces transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of a third-party tracking script (Redistats) indicates some level of user data collection, but with minimal tracking observed. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in encryption, header implementation, and privacy compliance to meet GDPR and other regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish clear contact information and a dedicated security policy or incident response page.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Key observations

  1. Website is a Swedish IT blog directory with a clear niche focus.
  2. No WHOIS data found for 'www.it-bloggar.se' indicating possible query error or domain not registered with 'www' prefix.
  3. No HTTPS or security headers information available from provided data; security posture limited.
  4. No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly provided on the homepage.
  5. Privacy policy is present but basic; no cookie consent mechanism detected.
  6. No forms detected on the homepage; registration and login pages exist but not analyzed here.
  7. Multiple external links to partner and blog sites, all relevant to IT and technology.
  8. Tracking script from Redistats used for analytics with minimal user tracking.
  9. No signs of adult or questionable content; content safe for general audiences.
  10. Website design uses Bootstrap 3, is mobile responsive and has good navigation clarity.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 3.0.3 for responsive design and layout, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta viewport tags for mobile responsiveness. External resources are loaded from reputable CDNs and partner domains. Performance is moderate, with no evident broken elements or errors. SEO is supported by canonical links and structured navigation. However, the technology stack is somewhat dated (Bootstrap 3), and there is no detected CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks. Hosting provider details are not available, and no advanced technical configurations such as DNSSEC or security headers are observed. The site would 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.
