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

Region Sønderjylland-Schleswig is a regional governmental and cooperative organization focused on fostering cross-border collaboration between Denmark and Germany. The website serves as an information hub detailing the organization's structure, political bodies, working areas, and news updates. It targets residents, public authorities, and stakeholders in the border region, providing resources such as newsletters and mobility barrier reporting. Technically, the website employs a jQuery-based tech stack with plugins for sliders and navigation, and integrates Matomo analytics with privacy-conscious configurations. Accessibility tools like Monsido are also used to enhance user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust analysis, but the website's content and partner affiliations indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is professionally designed, functional, and compliant with GDPR, suitable for its public service role.

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

6 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"

    • 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';…

  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

The organization holds a significant position as a regional government entity facilitating cooperation in the Denmark-Germany border area. Its business model revolves around public service and information dissemination rather than commercial activities. The website reflects a stable partnership ecosystem with multiple regional government and cultural institutions. The absence of commercial elements and the presence of official partner logos reinforce its credibility. Growth indicators include active news updates and engagement tools like newsletters. The target audience is broad, encompassing local citizens, authorities, and cross-border workers. The website's moderate size and content quality align with a medium-sized public entity. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency through detailed security and incident response disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and privacy-conscious analytics configurations are in place. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency and preparedness signals. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and improving header configurations to enhance protection against common web threats. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public information site but could be improved to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Ensure all forms have CSRF protection and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization for better user experience on smartphones and tablets.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to maintain privacy compliance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional jQuery-based technology stack with plugins for sliders, navigation, and carousels. It integrates Matomo analytics configured to disable cookies, reflecting privacy awareness. Monsido scripts provide accessibility enhancements and heatmap tracking. The CMS appears to be WebEdition, inferred from URL patterns and asset paths. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness. The site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks or SPA features but maintains good SEO and accessibility basics. Technical risks include reliance on older jQuery versions and absence of advanced security headers. Modernization opportunities include upgrading to newer frameworks, improving mobile design, and enhancing security configurations.
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.
