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

Berema AS is a well-established Norwegian importer and distributor of quality products for garden, park, and industrial sectors, operating since 1968. The company collaborates with a nationwide network of 250 professional dealers and represents reputable brands such as Honda, Cramer, and E-Power. Their website reflects a professional business presence with clear branding and relevant content targeting professional dealers and end customers seeking reliable equipment. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks like React and Material-UI, with integration of Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Application Insights for monitoring and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information.

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

8 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. 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

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

Berema AS holds a strong market position as a trusted distributor with over 50 years of experience in Norway. Their business model focuses on importing and distributing quality branded products through a professional dealer network, ensuring broad market reach and customer service. The company’s partnerships with well-known brands enhance its competitive advantage. The website content and linked partner domains confirm a stable ecosystem of suppliers and collaborators. The absence of direct e-commerce suggests a B2B and B2C hybrid approach via dealers. Growth indicators include a large dealer network and consistent branding. Strategic observations highlight opportunities to improve digital security transparency and privacy compliance to further strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. Use of reputable analytics and monitoring tools indicates active performance and error tracking. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with Material-UI components, indicating a contemporary front-end architecture. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Application Insights provides robust analytics and monitoring capabilities. The CMS appears to be Episerver (Optimizely), a professional enterprise CMS platform. Performance is moderate with some preloading and lazy loading techniques observed. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic and could be improved. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
