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

Loftmyndum ehf. operates the website map.is, which provides an interactive map and aerial imagery services focused on Iceland. The site offers various map layers including planning, protected areas, weather, and webcams, targeting general users and educational institutions. The business model allows free use for individuals for non-commercial purposes while restricting commercial usage without permission. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, OpenLayers, and Proj4js, with Google Analytics integrated for visitor tracking. The design is professional and mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. No WHOIS data was found for the domain, which reduces trustworthiness but the website content and business information appear legitimate. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its intended audience but could improve 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

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

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

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 company is positioned as a specialized provider of mapping and aerial imagery services in Iceland, serving individuals, educational institutions, and potentially other organizations with restricted commercial use. The website's comprehensive map layers and historical aerial imagery archives indicate a strong focus on geographic information services. The business appears small but well-branded and consistent, with a clear copyright policy and usage restrictions. The lack of public WHOIS data is a concern but may be due to domain registration practices in Iceland. The company leverages Google Analytics for insights but lacks visible contact details or security policies, which could be improved to enhance credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and modern JavaScript libraries, which is positive. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism despite the use of Google Analytics, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy compliance mechanisms, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries.
  5. Investigate and clarify domain WHOIS registration details to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap, OpenLayers for mapping, and Proj4js for coordinate projections. It uses Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The site includes multiple JavaScript components for UI features such as 3D buttons, drawing tools, layerswitchers, and webcams. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive meta tags and mobile-friendly UI elements. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. SEO is basic with meta description and Open Graph tags present but no structured JSON-LD data found. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO improvements.
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.
