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

Region Syddanmark is a Danish regional government authority responsible for healthcare, regional development, and environmental management within the Southern Denmark region. The website serves as an official information portal for citizens and partners, providing comprehensive details about its services and operations. The organization holds a strong market position as a public entity with a long-established presence since 2004. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates third-party services such as Cookiebot for cookie consent management, Cludo for search functionality, and Monsido for website monitoring. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices and performance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and publishing explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid risk posture with high legitimacy and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, enhancing security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies to further strengthen compliance and user 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.

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"

    • 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. 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

Region Syddanmark operates as a public regional authority in Denmark, focusing on healthcare services, regional development, and environmental concerns. Its business model is government-funded and service-oriented, targeting residents and stakeholders within the Southern Denmark region. The organization benefits from a stable market position with no direct commercial competition. Its digital presence supports transparency and citizen engagement, leveraging partnerships with technology providers for analytics and consent management. Growth indicators include ongoing digital maturity and compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Use of Cookiebot ensures GDPR-aligned user consent for cookies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. The site does not publish a security.txt file, limiting vulnerability disclosure transparency. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Consider deploying a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, integrating third-party services for search (Cludo), cookie consent (Cookiebot), and monitoring (Monsido). The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The CMS or hosting provider is not explicitly identified. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and implement DNSSEC for improved resilience.
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.
