Kemikalieinspektionen is a Swedish government agency dedicated to reducing risks to humans and the environment from chemicals. The website serves as an authoritative source of information, regulatory guidance, and news related to chemical safety and legislation in Sweden. It targets a broad audience including the general public, businesses, and other governmental bodies. The agency provides key services such as regulatory oversight, publication of chemical statistics, and support for compliance with chemical laws. The website is well-branded, consistent, and professionally maintained, reflecting its official status. Technically, the site is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript frameworks including React and jQuery. It integrates Piwik PRO and Siteimprove Analytics for user tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration, uses security headers, and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Kemikalieinspektionen holds a strong market position as the national regulatory authority for chemicals in Sweden. Its business model is that of a government agency focused on regulatory enforcement, public information, and support services. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its official mandate and comprehensive regulatory scope. Revenue streams are government-funded, with no commercial activities evident. The target customer segments include businesses handling chemicals, policymakers, researchers, and the general public. Growth indicators include active publication of reports, events, and guidance materials. The agency maintains a partnership ecosystem with EU bodies and other national authorities, as evidenced by references to ECHA and international cooperation. Operationally, the agency emphasizes transparency, compliance, and public engagement through its website and social media channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforcement and strong SSL configuration. Security best practices such as Content Security Policy, secure cookies, and CSRF tokens are implemented. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. No exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or insecure forms were identified. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site would benefit from formalizing these aspects to enhance its security culture and stakeholder trust. Overall, the risk level is low, but improvements in policy publication and incident handling are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  4. Enhance contact information with verified company phone numbers and emails for support and security inquiries.
  5. Optimize website performance to improve loading speed and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SiteVision CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks including React 18.3.1 and jQuery. It uses Piwik PRO and Siteimprove Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation aids. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well-implemented for SEO and social sharing. The use of nonce attributes in scripts enhances security against injection attacks. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, but the domain is secured with HTTPS and uses secure cookies. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and asset management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure web presence suitable for a government agency.
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.
