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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Bouvet operates as an essential entity in the technology sector, focusing on IT consulting with niche expertise in healthcare and public sector digitalization. The company leverages its publicly listed status on the Oslo Stock Exchange and ISO certifications to build trust. Its business model centers on delivering consulting services in system development, business process improvement, and design, targeting Scandinavian businesses and government agencies. The website content and job listings indicate growth and active recruitment, signaling business expansion. Partnerships with Bouvet Norway and active social media presence enhance its ecosystem. The company’s strategic focus on societal impact and digital transformation positions it competitively in the Nordic market.

Security posture

Bouvet demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and adherence to ISO 27001 standards. The presence of ethical guidelines, security instructions, and a whistleblower channel indicates a strong security culture. Use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo) and LinkedIn Insight tags with consent mechanisms further supports compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies represent areas for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize tracking footprint.
  5. Enhance WHOIS domain registration transparency by ensuring consistent domain registration data for all subdomains or clarifying domain structure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Enonic CMS, Google Fonts, YouTube embeds, and Matomo analytics, hosted likely behind Cloudflare CDN. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. The use of SVG icons and lazy loading images improves visual quality and load times. Some technical debt may exist in the form of missing security headers and limited metadata for structured data. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital 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.
