Risk levelLow

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

AF Gruppen is a leading contracting and industrial group listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, specializing in sectors such as offshore decommissioning and circularity. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with a focus on business clients and investors. The technical infrastructure is modern, leveraging Microsoft Azure cloud services, ASP.NET Core framework, and integrated analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Optimizely. The site implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and uses security best practices including HTTPS and security headers. However, the absence of WHOIS data and lack of visible contact information on the homepage slightly reduce trustworthiness. Overall, the website is well-structured and secure, supporting the company's market position as a large energy sector player.

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

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention afgruppen.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for afgruppen.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

AF Gruppen operates in the energy sector with a business model centered on contracting and industrial services. The company is publicly listed, indicating a mature market position and regulatory compliance. The website targets business clients and investors, providing information about its six business areas. The use of multiple localized domains suggests a regional presence in Norway and Sweden. Marketing and analytics tools indicate a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The lack of explicit contact details and terms of service pages suggests areas for improvement in transparency and customer support. No suspicious domains or affiliate programs were detected, reinforcing a direct business-to-business model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no exposed sensitive data. The use of Microsoft Application Insights and Azure services indicates robust monitoring and infrastructure security. GDPR compliance is evident through detailed cookie consent and privacy policies. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt are gaps that could be addressed to enhance security maturity. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Develop and publish terms of service to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Microsoft technology stack including ASP.NET Core and hosted on Microsoft Azure, ensuring scalability and reliability. Integration with Cloudflare provides additional performance and security benefits. The site uses Google Tag Manager and multiple analytics services for data collection and marketing optimization. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via CookieInformation, supporting GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively with room for minor improvements in accessibility and transparency.
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.
