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

Unionen is a prominent Swedish trade union representing salaried employees in the private sector. The website offers extensive information about membership benefits, legal advice, income insurance, and support for various member categories including students, managers, and self-employed individuals. The organization positions itself as a strong advocate for workplace success, security, and satisfaction. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, employs modern JavaScript libraries, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data for the subdomain www.unionen.se is unavailable, likely because it is a subdomain of unionen.se, which is consistent with the organization's identity. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, serving its audience effectively.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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';…

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

Unionen operates as a large non-profit trade union in Sweden, focusing on private sector employees. Its business model revolves around membership fees and providing legal, insurance, and negotiation services. The website's comprehensive content and member-focused services indicate a strong market position with a broad target audience. The presence of multiple social media channels and streaming content (Unionen Play) suggests active engagement and modern communication strategies. The lack of visible phone numbers or direct emails on the homepage implies a preference for digital contact forms and social media interaction. The organization maintains a consistent brand and offers extensive resources, indicating a well-established operational structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent managed via Cookiebot. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern libraries and frameworks reduces the risk of outdated components. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company phone numbers and official contact emails.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a solid technical foundation. It uses JavaScript libraries including Modernizr and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy management. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance appears moderate, with preloading of fonts and responsive images. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
