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

Københavns Kommune operates an official municipal website serving the residents of Copenhagen, Denmark. The site provides comprehensive information and services related to citizen services, environment, housing, employment, health, education, and social welfare. It is positioned as the primary digital portal for municipal government interactions and public information dissemination. The website targets local citizens and residents, offering a broad range of public service resources and contact points. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript and CSS. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. The site employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure suitable for a government entity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners with categorized cookies. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is common for government domains, but the domain legitimacy is supported by consistent branding and official content. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong trust indicators and compliance with privacy regulations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen security posture and transparency.

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, 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.

    • 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

Københavns Kommune holds a strong market position as the official municipal government of Copenhagen, providing essential public services through its digital platform. The business model is focused on public service delivery rather than commercial revenue generation. The website supports multiple citizen service areas, including environment, housing, social services, and education, indicating a broad service portfolio. The presence of official social media channels and comprehensive content suggests active engagement with the community. The lack of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its government entity nature. Growth indicators are not applicable, but the site reflects a stable and authoritative digital presence. Partnerships with digital service providers like Siteimprove for analytics and accessibility monitoring are evident.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR standards. The site avoids exposing sensitive data and uses categorized cookies with clear descriptions. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No published security or incident response policies reduce transparency in handling security events. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is present, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the site demonstrates a baseline security posture appropriate for a government website but can improve in transparency and header hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to enhance transparency.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security collaboration.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS, a modern and widely supported platform for government websites. The front-end includes JavaScript and CSS assets optimized for responsive design and accessibility. Cookie compliance is managed via a custom consent banner with category controls. Analytics and accessibility monitoring are provided by Siteimprove. The site is served over HTTPS, indicating good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, likely due to the content richness and multiple scripts. There is no explicit hosting provider information visible. The site architecture supports clear navigation and content segmentation, facilitating user experience. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and publish more detailed security documentation.
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.
