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

MitID Erhverv is a Danish government digital identity platform designed to provide secure access for businesses, associations, and authorities to self-service portals such as tax reporting and digital post. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and content targeted at organizational users in Denmark. The platform is operated under the Digitaliseringsstyrelsen, reflecting a strong government affiliation and trustworthiness. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS likely related to NemLog-in and is hosted by Sitnet, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical security flaw. No modern TLS protocols or security headers are implemented, exposing users to potential risks. Privacy and cookie policies are present and comprehensive, supporting GDPR compliance, but no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Overall, the site is functional and credible but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain trust.

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.

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 Erhverv holds a strong market position as the official government digital identity provider for Danish organizations, serving a broad audience including businesses, associations, and authorities. Its business model is centered on providing secure digital identity and access management services to facilitate digital self-service interactions with public authorities. The platform supports multiple administrator roles and advanced IT functionalities, targeting IT professionals and organizational users. The website content and structure indicate a mature service with consistent branding and trust signals such as links to official government domains. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a centralized support model via dedicated contact pages. The domain age and registration details align well with the service launch timeline, reinforcing legitimacy.

Security posture

The current security posture of the MitID Erhverv website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability for any site handling sensitive identity information. Additionally, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are present, and DNSSEC is not enabled, increasing the risk of DNS spoofing. The site does not implement HSTS or OCSP stapling, and session resumption mechanisms are absent, which could impact both security and performance. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found, indicating a gap in transparency and readiness. While the site is government-operated and likely secured at backend levels, the public-facing security configuration requires immediate attention to meet modern standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable outdated protocols.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to protect domain integrity and certificate issuance.
  5. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  6. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  7. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.
  8. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor user interactions and improve service.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform associated with NemLog-in, using standard web technologies including CSS and JavaScript. The hosting provider is Sitnet, as indicated by DNS records. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 2.7 seconds and a page size of about 400 KB, which is acceptable but could be optimized. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO practices with proper meta tags and canonical links. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical debt and risk. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts suggests a privacy-conscious approach or limited digital marketing efforts. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires modernization in security and 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.
