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

Statens It is a Danish government IT organization established in 2008, providing a range of IT services including workplace solutions, security, IT operations, servicedesk, and development of shared services primarily for public sector entities. The website reflects a mature and consistent government presence with clear contact information and compliance with GDPR through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses modern tools such as Cookiebot for consent management and Cludo for search functionality, and is built on the Umbraco CMS platform. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, lack of security headers, and missing DNSSEC, which are critical for protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. The domain registration data aligns well with the official government entity, showing a long-standing and legitimate presence.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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 operates as an essential government IT service provider under the Danish Ministry of Finance, serving public sector clients with specialized IT solutions. Its market position is stable and authoritative, supported by partnerships with related government agencies. The business model focuses on delivering IT infrastructure and support services, with a clear emphasis on security and compliance, although some technical security gaps exist. The website content targets public sector employees and stakeholders, offering career opportunities and service information. The presence of official contact details and links to government ministries enhances credibility and trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but requires urgent improvements. Key strengths include a valid SPF record and a strict DMARC policy, which help protect email integrity. However, the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificate is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to data interception risks. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC further weakens the domain's security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which limits transparency. Overall, the security culture appears compliant with privacy laws but technically underdeveloped in transport layer security.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) and disable insecure legacy protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Correct and properly configure CAA DNS records to specify authorized certificate authorities.
  5. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain integrity.
  6. Publish an incident response contact or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  7. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform and uses JavaScript libraries for analytics (Silktide), consent management (Cookiebot), and search (Cludo). Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5 seconds and a page size of about 130 KB. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be managed via sitnet.dk DNS and IP infrastructure. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and security headers represents a significant technical risk. The site uses multiple MX records for mail delivery and has a valid SPF and DMARC policy, indicating good email security practices.
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.
