Risk levelMedium

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

Ljosmodir.is is a professional Icelandic educational website dedicated to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. It serves parents, midwives, and interested individuals by providing comprehensive information, Q&A with midwives, and useful tools such as a due date calculator. The site is associated with the Icelandic Midwives Association, enhancing its credibility and trustworthiness. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Next.js and Prismic CMS, ensuring good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks visible security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but does not detract significantly given the professional content and affiliations. Overall, the site is a reliable resource with room for improvement in security and privacy compliance.

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.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

      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

The website occupies a niche in healthcare education focused on maternity and midwifery in Iceland. It targets expecting parents, families, and healthcare professionals, providing trusted information and community engagement through Q&A. The business model is informational and likely non-profit or association-supported. Partnerships with the Icelandic Midwives Association and local bookstores strengthen its ecosystem. The site demonstrates strong content quality and user engagement potential, positioning it as a leading resource in its sector within Iceland.

Security posture

The site benefits from HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy present, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with opportunities for improvement to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Investigate and update WHOIS registration details to improve domain transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with Prismic CMS for content management, enabling efficient content delivery and SEO optimization. The site is well-structured with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with optimized images and preloading strategies. However, the absence of visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates some technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience but should address security and privacy gaps.
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.
