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.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

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 serves as a key government resource in Norway’s public procurement ecosystem, supporting compliance with procurement laws and promoting sustainability and innovation. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, backed by a large government entity (DFØ). The portal integrates with partner sites like Doffin for procurement announcements and offers tools and educational content to procurement officers. The site’s market position is authoritative within the Norwegian public sector, with a focus on large-scale government procurement. The presence of structured content, events, and news indicates active engagement with its audience. The lack of public WHOIS data is typical for .no domains and does not detract from its legitimacy. The site’s ecosystem includes related government domains, reinforcing its strategic role in public procurement management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Anti-bot measures are implemented on forms to prevent abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy policies are linked from the parent organization, indicating compliance with GDPR. Tracking scripts are present but limited to internal analytics and heatmaps, with moderate user tracking levels. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add an explicit cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly documenting data retention policies and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. JavaScript libraries such as MathJax and Alpine.js are used for enhanced interactivity and mathematical content rendering. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently, with asynchronous loading of tracking scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, with responsive design and skip links for screen readers. SEO is supported by canonical and hreflang tags. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the domain uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to align with best practices.
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.
