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

5 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
    • 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
    • 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Arkivet operates in the non-profit sector focused on peace and human rights education and cultural preservation. It targets a general audience interested in history, education, and social issues. The organization offers exhibitions, guided tours, educational programs, and a cafe/shop. The website supports Norwegian and English languages, indicating an intent to reach both local and international visitors. The use of structured data and SEO plugins suggests a focus on discoverability. The presence of Google Analytics and Spotify analytics indicates moderate user tracking for performance and engagement insights. The business model is centered on cultural and educational services rather than commercial sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare protection likely in place. Cookie consent is managed with a detailed banner allowing granular user control, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visible in the HTML and should be verified server-side. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and enhancing security headers to improve defense in depth.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Ensure all WordPress plugins and themes are regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact information (email, phone) for better user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with plugins including Gravity Forms, Yoast SEO, and WPML for multilingual support. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and Cloudflare for CDN and security. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by external scripts and CDN usage. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and user-friendly. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, suitable for a non-profit cultural organization.
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.
