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

Lantmäteriet is the official Swedish government agency responsible for mapping Sweden, managing property boundaries, and maintaining ownership records. The website serves a broad audience including property owners, associations, and public authorities by providing access to geographic data, property services, and self-service tools. The site is well-branded, consistent, and professionally presented with clear navigation and relevant content focused on property and geodata services. Technically, the website uses EPiServer CMS with jQuery and Handlebars.js for dynamic content rendering. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a moderate performance profile. The site employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism for privacy compliance but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices such as HTTPS and error logging but could improve by implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing vulnerability disclosure information. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. The WHOIS data confirms the domain is legitimately registered to the Swedish government agency, supporting high trustworthiness. Overall, the website is a credible, professional government resource with good privacy compliance and moderate technical sophistication. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and technical security controls would enhance its security posture and trust further.

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

  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

  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

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

Lantmäteriet holds a monopoly as Sweden's national mapping and property registration authority, positioning it as an essential government entity. Its business model is service-oriented, providing geographic and property data to citizens, businesses, and public bodies. The agency's revenue streams are primarily government-funded, with free access to certain data sets in compliance with EU directives. The target audience includes property owners, associations, and government agencies. The website reflects a mature digital presence with self-service portals and informational content, indicating ongoing digital transformation efforts. Partnerships appear limited to internal government structures, with no evident commercial subsidiaries or external partners. The agency's market position is stable and authoritative within the Swedish public sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a baseline security maturity with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder transparency and user trust. The site uses error logging via image beacons, indicating some monitoring capability. Forms are present but lack visible advanced security controls like CSRF tokens. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but should be enhanced to meet modern standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance form security with CSRF protection and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the EPiServer CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and Handlebars.js for client-side interactivity. The HTML structure is valid and includes modern meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. Hosting details are not disclosed, but the domain is government-owned and likely hosted on secure infrastructure. The site uses a custom chatbot service hosted on a subdomain. There is no evidence of heavy third-party tracking or advertising scripts, indicating a privacy-conscious design. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve performance and 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.
