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

Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster is a Norwegian-based organization focused on building capacity and solutions for a secure digital society. It operates as a cluster facilitating partnerships, innovation, and export of cybersecurity solutions, aiming to position Norway as the most cyber secure country globally. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with a clear mission and a strong network of reputable partners from academia, industry, and government sectors. Technically, the site is built on Webflow with modern web technologies and includes multilingual support via Weglot, indicating a moderate to high level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure; however, the absence of security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR statements. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned but could enhance security and privacy practices to strengthen its risk posture.

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

6 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

The organization holds a strong market position as a national cybersecurity cluster in Norway, leveraging partnerships with universities, technology companies, and public sector entities. Its business model centers on collaboration, innovation facilitation, and export promotion of cybersecurity solutions. The partner ecosystem is broad and reputable, indicating strong industry connections and influence. The website content and structure support clear communication of its mission and services, targeting cybersecurity professionals, industry stakeholders, and government bodies. Growth indicators include active event promotion and partner engagement. Revenue streams are likely derived from membership, partnerships, and possibly government or innovation grants. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining strong partner relations and expanding international visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no obvious exposure of sensitive information. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, which could hinder effective security incident management and reduce stakeholder confidence. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may also present compliance risks under GDPR. No known vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the site content or scripts. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by adopting recommended security headers, publishing incident response information, and implementing privacy compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security readiness and build trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts and jQuery. It uses Weglot for multilingual support, indicating an internationalization strategy. Hosting is provided by Webflow, which offers reliable infrastructure and HTTPS by default. Performance is moderate with video backgrounds and multiple partner logos, which may impact load times. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security best practices. No analytics or tracking services beyond Weglot were detected, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
