Akademiet · Education · Norway

Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Akademiet is a Norwegian educational institution offering a range of schooling options including secondary schools, private candidate schools, primary schools, and exchange programs. The website positions Akademiet as a leading and future-oriented school in Norway, targeting students and parents seeking quality education. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Yoast SEO, indicating a mature and well-maintained technical environment. The site is mobile-optimized, uses HTTPS, and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good privacy and security awareness. However, the absence of visible privacy and terms of service pages and the lack of WHOIS transparency slightly reduce trust. Overall, the security posture is solid with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but improvements in security headers and incident response disclosures are recommended.

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 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';…

  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

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

Akademiet operates in the education sector in Norway, serving a large audience with diverse educational services. The business model focuses on providing schooling options and exchange programs, likely generating revenue through tuition and related services. The website's SEO and content strategy suggest a strong market presence and brand consistency. Social media integration and cookie compliance indicate engagement with modern marketing and regulatory practices. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site is a minor gap. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which is an area for improvement. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The use of Gravity Forms suggests secure form handling, but no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance trust by publishing security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide clear company registration information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Gravity Forms for form management, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. It uses Google Fonts and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile responsive and shows good accessibility practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. The absence of detected security headers suggests room for technical hardening. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional educational website.
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.
