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

Naalakkersuisut.gl is the official government website of Greenland, serving as the primary portal for government news, departmental information, and public resources. The site targets Greenlandic citizens, government officials, and media, providing authoritative and up-to-date information about governmental activities and services. The business model is public service oriented, with a focus on transparency and communication. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, and uses Matomo for analytics. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized, but lacks modern security implementations such as HTTPS and security headers, which significantly impacts its security posture. From a security perspective, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating gaps in compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The site does not display any incident response or security policies, which could affect trust and readiness for security events. Overall, while the website fulfills its role as a government information portal with good content quality and user experience, the lack of fundamental security measures and privacy compliance lowers its trustworthiness and exposes it to risks. Strategic improvements in security infrastructure and privacy transparency are recommended to enhance user trust and regulatory 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. 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

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

Naalakkersuisut.gl holds a strong market position as the official government portal of Greenland, providing essential services such as news dissemination, departmental contacts, and public announcements. Its competitive advantage lies in its authoritative status and direct government affiliation. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and information accessibility. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is government-funded. The target customer segments include Greenlandic residents, government employees, media, and international observers interested in Greenlandic governance. Growth indicators are stable, with consistent updates and active social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes related Greenlandic government sites and public service platforms. Strategic observations highlight the need for modernization in security and privacy practices to maintain credibility and public trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is low due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability. This exposes users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No security headers or advanced TLS protocols are implemented, further weakening the security posture. Compliance gaps with GDPR are evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. There is no visible incident response readiness or security contact information, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The security culture appears minimal, with no evidence of proactive security measures. Addressing these issues is essential to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and security contact channels.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.

Notes

The website uses standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with Matomo analytics integrated for visitor tracking. The site is moderately performant with a load time of approximately 3.6 seconds and a page size of about 158 KB. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and language toggle features. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical deficiency. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the data. SEO optimization is basic, with some meta tags and Open Graph properties present but no structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal but present, such as skip links and language options. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security enhancements.
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.
