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

4 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

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

BFO operates as an essential union entity within the government sector, focusing on military personnel. Its market position as the leading union in Norway for this demographic is supported by clear messaging and targeted services. The business model revolves around membership and advocacy, with revenue likely derived from member dues. The website's integration with major advertising and analytics platforms indicates a mature digital marketing approach. The absence of explicit contact and legal policy pages suggests areas for operational improvement. The partnership ecosystem includes major platforms like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Vimeo, supporting marketing and content delivery. Growth indicators are stable given the domain age and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of CSRF tokens, and cookie consent compliance. Security headers are likely implemented though not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of published security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness perception. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks full documentation. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced policy publication and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed and accessible privacy policy outlining GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Craft CMS, Vite for module bundling, and uses asynchronous loading of scripts for performance optimization. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Analytics, with marketing integrations from Facebook and Snap. Cookie consent is managed by Cookiebot, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous security monitoring. The site could improve by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
