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

Tekjusagan is a government-operated interactive tool managed by Statistics Iceland and the Prime Minister's Office of Iceland. It provides accessible visualizations of income, assets, and demographic data spanning over 25 years, aimed at the general public and policymakers. The website is positioned as an authoritative source for income and living standards data in Iceland, supporting government decision-making and public transparency. Technically, the site uses AngularJS 1.7.2, Bootstrap 4.1.3, and jQuery, hosted on Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure. While the site is functional and mobile-optimized, it uses somewhat dated frameworks and lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended improvements. Security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and absence of consent mechanisms. The site employs Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking without visible consent banners, which may pose compliance risks. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the government entity, supporting high legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 serves as a public data visualization platform for Icelandic government statistics on income and living standards. Its market position is strong as an official government resource, with partnerships including the Prime Minister's Office and Statistics Iceland. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and transparency. Key services include interactive reports on income, assets, education, and life course income mobility. The target audience includes policymakers, researchers, and the general public interested in socio-economic data. The partnership ecosystem includes analytics and metadata firms supporting development. Growth indicators are stable given the government backing and continuous data updates from tax records. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy compliance and security posture to maintain public trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the data; no security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a notable security gap. No forms or user input fields reduce attack surface. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking without visible consent mechanisms, posing privacy compliance risks under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the government entity, supporting trust. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing consent mechanisms, and establishing vulnerability disclosure processes to improve security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  4. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to harden security.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy (security.txt).

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses AngularJS 1.7.2, jQuery 3.2.1, Bootstrap 4.1.3, and Fancybox 3.5.6, indicating a moderately modern but somewhat dated technology stack. Hosting is via Microsoft Azure DNS, a reputable provider. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS detected, likely a custom-built AngularJS single-page application. Technical debt includes reliance on AngularJS 1.x, which is legacy and no longer actively maintained. No forms or complex user input reduce complexity and security risks. Opportunities exist to modernize the frontend framework and improve security headers and DNS configuration to reduce technical risks.
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.
