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

UR is a Swedish public service media company specializing in educational television and radio programming. The website serves as an information portal about UR's mission, current programs, and key topics, targeting a general audience interested in educational content. The organization holds a strong market position as a national public service broadcaster in Sweden, focusing on delivering quality educational media content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, utilizing the Kadence theme and blocks, with integrations such as Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site demonstrates modern web practices including responsive design, SEO optimization via Yoast SEO, and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and uses Sentry for error monitoring. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, representing areas for improvement. Overall, UR's website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, with no indications of malicious activity or content safety concerns. The lack of WHOIS data for the www subdomain is expected and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing incident response transparency to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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

UR operates as a public service educational media provider in Sweden, delivering TV and radio programs aimed at educating the public. Its business model is centered on public funding and service rather than commercial revenue streams. The website reflects a strong brand identity consistent with public service values. UR targets a broad audience including students, educators, and the general public interested in educational content. The company leverages modern digital tools to maintain an effective online presence, supporting its mission and outreach. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified on the site. The organization's market position is stable and authoritative within the Swedish educational media sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of Cookiebot indicates attention to privacy and consent management, aligning with GDPR requirements. Sentry integration provides real-time error monitoring, enhancing operational security. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure channels limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from improved communication and formal documentation of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page accessible from the website footer or about section.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy practices to build greater user trust.

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.
