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

The website politi.dk is the official online presence of the Danish Police, providing comprehensive public services including crime reporting, legal information, news updates, and contact details for police stations across Denmark. It serves a broad audience of Danish residents and visitors seeking law enforcement information and services. The site is well-positioned as a national government authority with a large operational scope and a clear mission to serve public safety needs. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as AngularJS and jQuery, integrates Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and uses secure session management practices. The infrastructure supports mobile responsiveness and accessibility, ensuring a good user experience across devices. The presence of HTTPS and CSRF protection tokens indicates a solid security foundation. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site respects privacy regulations with a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie declarations, though a dedicated privacy policy page was not found in the analyzed content. Overall, politi.dk demonstrates a trustworthy, professional, and secure government website with good technical implementation and user experience. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, verifying security headers, and publishing explicit privacy and security policies to enhance compliance and user trust.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Politi.dk operates as a government entity providing essential law enforcement services and information to the public in Denmark. Its market position is that of the authoritative national police website, with no direct commercial competition. The business model is service-oriented, funded by the government, focusing on public safety, crime prevention, and community engagement. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. The target customer segments include Danish citizens, residents, and visitors requiring police services or information. Growth indicators include digital service expansion such as online crime reporting and job recruitment portals. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers like Cookiebot and Google for analytics and consent management. The site’s operations reflect a mature digital presence aligned with government standards and public expectations.

Security posture

The security maturity of politi.dk is robust, with HTTPS enforced and session management cookies protecting user sessions. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates awareness of common web vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with blocking mode enabled, supporting GDPR compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a potential area for DNS security enhancement. No exposed credentials, malware, or phishing indicators were found. The site does not appear to use outdated or vulnerable libraries. Incident response contact information and explicit security policies were not detected, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the site maintains a good security posture appropriate for a government website.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the politi.dk domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information and security policy documentation.
  5. Regularly audit third-party cookies and trackers to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using AngularJS and jQuery, with ASP.NET backend implied by session cookies. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Meta tags and Open Graph tags are properly set for SEO and social sharing. The site uses multiple cookies including necessary, preference, marketing, and unclassified cookies, with detailed cookie declarations. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site could benefit from modernizing frameworks and optimizing load times further.
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.
