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

3 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 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

Sveriges Radio is a large-scale public service entity funded by public means, focusing on media and broadcasting. Its business model centers on providing free, accessible news and entertainment content to the Swedish public. The organization benefits from strong brand recognition and trust, with a broad content portfolio including news, podcasts, and live radio channels. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and high content quality. There is no evidence of commercial advertising or affiliate partnerships, consistent with its public service mandate. The lack of visible contact information or business registration details on the site is typical for public broadcasters. The site’s ecosystem includes multiple subdomains for media assets but no clear partner or subsidiary domains were identified.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and avoids exposing sensitive information in the HTML content. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Forms present are minimal and appear to be search forms without sensitive input fields. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies may indicate compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Include clear contact information for business and data protection inquiries to enhance trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js), utilizing server-side rendering and optimized asset loading (woff2 fonts, async scripts). The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and accessibility considerations such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation aids. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Performance appears optimized with preloading of fonts and scripts. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly found. The site is mobile-optimized and responsive, providing a good user experience across devices. Technical risks include the absence of security headers and lack of visible privacy compliance mechanisms, which could affect user trust and regulatory adherence.
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.
