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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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';…

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Teknologirådet holds a strong market position as an established government and non-profit advisory entity in Denmark, leveraging over three decades of expertise. Its business model centers on consultancy and facilitation services targeting public sector clients and European projects. The organization benefits from a strategic partnership through its merger into DEMOCRACY X, expanding its influence and resource base. Revenue streams likely derive from public contracts and project funding. The target audience includes municipalities, regions, ministries, and citizen groups engaged in democratic and technological development. The website's content and social media presence support active engagement and transparency. Growth indicators include participation in large European projects and a comprehensive service portfolio. The partnership ecosystem is highlighted by the DEMOCRACY X collaboration, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and implementation of GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for enhancement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics aligns with privacy-conscious data collection practices. Overall, the security maturity is good for a non-profit organization, but adopting additional best practices would strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration tests to proactively identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.6.14 with a suite of modern plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, WPML for multilingual support, Complianz GDPR Premium for cookie compliance, and Matomo for analytics. The infrastructure supports responsive design and good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements through optimization of scripts and caching. The technical stack is well-maintained but could benefit from updated WordPress core and plugin versions to reduce technical debt. Hosting details are not explicit but appear stable. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration, enhancing discoverability. Overall, the technical implementation supports the organization's digital goals effectively.
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.
