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

Medicin.dk is a well-established Danish healthcare information platform operated by Dansk Lægemiddel Information A/S, providing authoritative and clinically relevant medicine information to both the general public and healthcare professionals. The platform includes multiple service sites tailored to different audiences and integrates with various healthcare IT systems, positioning itself as a trusted national resource. Technically, the website employs a legacy but stable JavaScript stack including jQuery and jQuery UI, enhanced with modern SDKs like Scandit for barcode scanning and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, though some improvements are possible. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and disables cookies in analytics to respect privacy, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response documentation. The WHOIS data confirms a consistent and legitimate registration aligned with the business's history and location. Overall, Medicin.dk presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly digital presence with room for security and compliance enhancements.

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

7 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

  2. 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
    • 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';…

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

Medicin.dk holds a strong market position as Denmark's recognized platform for medicine information, serving both patients and healthcare professionals. Its business model revolves around providing high-quality, authoritative content, clinical decision support tools, APIs for integration, educational offerings, and partnership opportunities. The company benefits from a long domain history and integration into multiple healthcare IT platforms, indicating stable revenue streams and growth potential. The target audience is broad within the healthcare sector, including patients, doctors, pharmacists, and other professionals. The partnership ecosystem includes related service domains and specialized sites for patient leaflets. The company demonstrates strategic focus on content quality, user engagement, and technological integration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with disabled cookies). However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, and explicit security or incident response policies publicly available. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.3 may pose potential risks if not regularly updated. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a minor compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be improved with modern security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance regarding tracking and cookies.
  5. Regularly update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable but somewhat dated technology stack centered on jQuery and jQuery UI, supplemented by modern SDKs like Scandit for barcode scanning and Matomo for analytics. The site is mobile responsive with multiple CSS stylesheets targeting different device widths. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of some scripts and use of CDN for some resources. No CMS is explicitly detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured linking. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from modernization of the tech stack and enhanced performance optimization.
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.
