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

MitID.dk is the official digital identification platform for Denmark, providing secure authentication services for online banking, government services, and self-service solutions. The website is professionally designed with a clear focus on user guidance, privacy, and security. It targets Danish residents and users requiring trusted digital identity verification. The platform holds a strong market position as Denmark's primary digital ID provider. Technically, the website employs modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with responsive design and accessibility features. The presence of session timeout modals and secure login forms indicates a mature security posture. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published. Overall, the security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and good session management. Privacy compliance is evident through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The absence of contact emails or phone numbers on the main page slightly reduces business credibility, but the official nature of the domain and content supports trustworthiness. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting verification of registration details. Despite this, the website's content and domain strongly suggest it is a legitimate government service. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and providing clearer contact information for incident response.

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

4 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 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

MitID operates as a government digital identity provider, serving a critical role in Denmark's digital infrastructure. Its business model centers on providing secure authentication services to individuals and organizations for accessing banking and government services. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official status and integration with multiple service providers. Revenue streams are likely government-funded, focusing on public service rather than commercial profit. The target customer segment includes all Danish residents and entities requiring secure digital identification. Growth indicators include continuous updates and user support resources. The partnership ecosystem includes related government and service domains, enhancing service reach and reliability.

Security posture

MitID demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login mechanisms, and session management features such as inactivity timeouts. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security culture appears focused on user protection and compliance, but transparency could be enhanced by publishing more detailed security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses, to improve transparency and responsiveness.
  4. Enhance business credibility by including verified contact emails and phone numbers for user support and inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and standard technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including Material Icons and responsive design techniques. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and language localization features. Performance is moderate, with no significant delays or errors observed. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. The technical implementation supports a secure and user-friendly experience but could benefit from additional security headers and enhanced transparency regarding security practices.
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.
