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

Brann- og redningsskolen is a Norwegian government-affiliated educational institution specializing in fire and rescue training. The website provides comprehensive information about their two-year vocational college program, continuing education courses, and student life. The institution targets prospective students and current fire and rescue personnel, positioning itself as a national leader in this specialized education sector. Technically, the website is hosted on Microsoft Azure and protected by Cloudflare, using modern analytics tools like Plausible and Azure Application Insights. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced and cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, though some HTTP security headers are not explicitly detected. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with Norwegian domain privacy policies and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong security posture, good privacy compliance, and professional business credibility.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

The institution operates in the education and government sectors, providing essential vocational training for fire and rescue services in Norway. Its business model is public and educational, focusing on delivering accredited programs and courses. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a clear market position as the national fire and rescue school. The use of Microsoft Azure and Cloudflare suggests a robust hosting and security infrastructure. The site’s partnership with Cookie Information for consent management and use of Plausible Analytics reflects a commitment to privacy and compliance. The organization maintains transparent contact information and regularly updates cookie declarations, indicating operational maturity and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare as a CDN and security layer. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categories, supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were not observed, representing an area for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from additional header hardening and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update cookie and privacy policies to reflect any changes in data processing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Microsoft Azure hosting, Cloudflare CDN, and EpiServer CMS. It uses Plausible Analytics and Azure Application Insights for performance and usage monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and CSS. The cookie consent mechanism is comprehensive and user-friendly. There is no evidence of deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and publish additional compliance documentation to reduce technical risk.
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.
