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

Statistikbanken.dk is a Danish government-operated statistical data platform providing access to statistical tables and datasets relevant to researchers, policymakers, and the public. The website serves as an official national statistics repository, offering free access to data but currently presents minimal content with an outdated technical implementation. The site uses legacy HTML frameset technology and lacks modern web design and accessibility features. Technically, the site is hosted via one.com with DNS and mail services properly configured but lacks HTTPS encryption, exposing users to insecure connections. Security posture is weak with no SSL certificate, no security headers, and no DNSSEC, which poses risks to data integrity and user privacy. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site is functional but outdated and insecure, requiring urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to protect users and enhance trust.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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 website represents a mature government entity with a domain age of 26 years, consistent with its role as Denmark's official statistics provider. Its business model is public service oriented, offering free access to statistical data without commercial intent. The target audience includes researchers, government officials, and the general public interested in Danish statistics. The platform's market position is authoritative within Denmark's government sector. However, the lack of modern web technologies and security measures may impact user trust and accessibility. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The site does not engage in advertising or tracking, aligning with its public service nature.

Security posture

The security posture of statistikbanken.dk is currently poor. The absence of HTTPS means all data exchanges are unencrypted, exposing users to interception and manipulation risks. No security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, or X-Frame-Options are implemented, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, and no DMARC record is present, which weakens email security. The SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no session security mechanisms are detected. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. These gaps represent significant compliance and security risks, especially for a government platform handling public data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Add essential security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and configure DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records to enhance DNS and email security.
  5. Modernize the website's technical stack by replacing frameset HTML with responsive, accessible HTML5 and improve mobile optimization.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using legacy frameset HTML technology, which is outdated and not mobile-friendly. No modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Hosting is provided by one.com, with DNS and mail exchange records properly configured but lacking advanced security features like DNSSEC. Performance is slow with a load time exceeding 5 seconds and a relatively large page size for minimal content. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The absence of HTTPS and security headers represents a critical technical debt and security risk. The site lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features, limiting usability and discoverability.
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.
