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

Visit Stockholm, operated by Stockholm Business Region AB, is the official tourism guide for the city of Stockholm, Sweden. The website provides comprehensive information on restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, events, exhibitions, and activities to help visitors experience the city fully. It targets tourists and visitors seeking cultural, culinary, and recreational experiences in Stockholm. The business model focuses on tourism promotion and visitor engagement through digital content and event listings. The site holds a strong market position as the official city tourism portal, supported by consistent branding and official contact information. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with analytics powered by Matomo and cookie management via CookieTractor. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, delivering a good user experience with moderate performance. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. Security posture is strong, with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the site lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts, which could enhance trust and preparedness. The WHOIS data query for the subdomain www.visitstockholm.se returned no results, likely due to querying a subdomain rather than the root domain, but the website content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, Visit Stockholm presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform for tourism promotion. Strategic recommendations include publishing formal security and incident response policies, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and providing data protection officer contact details to further strengthen compliance and trust.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

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

Visit Stockholm operates as an essential entity in the hospitality sector, focusing on tourism promotion for Stockholm. It leverages digital content to attract and inform visitors, offering curated guides, event calendars, and cultural insights. The business benefits from official city backing, enhancing credibility and market reach. Revenue streams likely include partnerships, sponsorships, and promotional activities. The target audience includes tourists, event attendees, and local visitors. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with social media platforms. The partnership with Stockholm Business Region AB provides strategic support and resource sharing. The company maintains a strong digital presence with consistent branding and high-quality content, positioning it well against competitors in the tourism information space.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options. The use of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the site is secure for visitors but could improve by publishing formal security documentation and incident response procedures to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information or a dedicated security contact email.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer if applicable under GDPR.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript stack using React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It employs Matomo Analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking and CookieTractor for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS bundles deferred for efficient loading. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting details are not explicitly found but the use of Swedish Internet Foundation WHOIS and domain suggests local hosting or management. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous performance optimization and security patching are advised.
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.
