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

Virk.dk is the official Danish government digital portal serving as the primary gateway for businesses to access public services. Established in 2001, it holds a strong market position as an essential government service platform targeting Danish businesses. The website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and Vue.js, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and a focus on responsive design and user experience. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy transparency.

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

6 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

The website operates as a government service portal, providing digital access to public services for businesses in Denmark. Its business model is centered on facilitating efficient interaction between businesses and government agencies. The domain's long registration history supports its credibility and stability. The portal likely serves a large enterprise-scale audience given its governmental nature. No commercial advertising or affiliate programs are evident, aligning with its public service mission. The absence of explicit contact information or security policies suggests an opportunity to improve stakeholder engagement and compliance visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and readiness communication. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the site's resilience and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS infrastructure and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies to demonstrate GDPR compliance.
  4. Add a security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information.
  5. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses Bootstrap 4.6.0 and Vue.js for frontend development, indicating a modern and responsive design approach. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for viewport and language. Performance is moderate with preloaded scripts to optimize loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal with a descriptive meta description but no evident Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional user experience but could be enhanced with richer metadata and accessibility improvements.
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.
