Creo is Norway's largest union and interest organization for professionals in the arts and culture sector, boasting over 11,000 members. The organization focuses on securing better wages and working conditions for its members, who include both employees and self-employed individuals in artistic professions. Key services include legal advice, contract assistance, insurance offerings, and political advocacy. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, supporting its mission and member engagement effectively. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium and integrates third-party services like Google Analytics, Visual Website Optimiser, and CookieFirst for consent management. It uses Cloudflare for CDN and security, ensuring good performance and protection against common web threats. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, though some improvements could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers likely managed by Cloudflare, and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, Creo's website demonstrates a strong digital maturity level with good security posture and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing dedicated security and incident response policies, implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures, and enhancing accessibility compliance to further strengthen the organization's online trustworthiness and user experience.

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

Creo holds a strong market position as the largest artist union in Norway, targeting professionals in the arts and culture sector. Its membership-based business model generates revenue through membership fees and offers value-added services such as legal support, insurance, and educational events. The organization maintains an active partnership ecosystem, including cookie consent and analytics providers, and leverages social media channels for outreach. Growth indicators include a sizable membership base and continuous content updates. The website's comprehensive navigation and service offerings reflect a mature operational structure focused on member engagement and advocacy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare protection, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Security best practices such as the use of security headers and no visible sensitive data exposure are observed. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The integration of third-party scripts is managed responsibly, but ongoing audits are recommended to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced policy documentation and incident communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Add clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and updates.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with up-to-date plugins and themes, including Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization. It uses jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks for UI components and responsiveness. Cloudflare provides CDN and security services, improving performance and mitigating DDoS risks. The site includes advanced cookie consent management via CookieFirst and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Visual Website Optimiser for user behavior insights. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security documentation to reduce technical debt and enhance compliance.
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.
