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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn

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

  2. 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

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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

As a government agency, Jordbruksverket operates in a non-commercial model focused on regulatory and support functions. Its market position is authoritative and essential within Sweden’s agricultural sector. The agency offers key services such as financial support programs, animal and plant registries, food safety information, and statistical data. The website integrates with partner domains and campaigns, reflecting a collaborative ecosystem within the public sector and rural networks. The presence of e-services and databases indicates a mature digital infrastructure supporting operational efficiency and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and enforces cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. While no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, the site demonstrates adherence to basic security best practices including CSRF token placeholders and no visible sensitive data exposure. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid for a government website but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and React (versions 17 and 18). The infrastructure appears to be hosted on internal or government-managed servers, ensuring control and compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses Siteimprove analytics for monitoring, with minimal user tracking and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and security headers would enhance resilience.
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.
