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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
NAL holds a strong market position as the primary professional body for architects in Norway, leveraging membership fees and event participation as revenue streams. Their business model centers on providing value-added services such as courses, competitions, and publications to members. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional content quality, supported by active social media channels and partnerships with architecture-related domains like arkitektur.no. Growth indicators include regular events and active news updates. The partnership ecosystem includes related architecture associations and media outlets. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance security transparency and incident response readiness to further strengthen trust.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, use of a consent management platform, and Google reCAPTCHA protecting user input forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy presence, but a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure mechanism are lacking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit organization but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript technologies including Usercentrics for consent management, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site loads external resources from reputable domains such as Google Fonts and YouTube. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience with opportunities to enhance accessibility and security headers.
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.
