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

The website 'Fagforeningsguiden' is an informational portal operated by Beneficial Apps AS, providing comprehensive data on trade unions and federations in Norway. It targets Norwegian workers and employees seeking to understand and compare union membership options, fees, and benefits. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and professional design, offering value through aggregated union data and direct links to official union websites. Technically, the site uses modern web standards including Google Fonts, Line Awesome icons, and privacy-friendly Plausible analytics, ensuring a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS usage is assumed, no explicit security headers or privacy policies are published, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the presence of a valid company contact email and consistent branding supports legitimacy. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and privacy-conscious, with recommendations to enhance transparency and security compliance.

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

7 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Fagforeningsguiden occupies a niche informational market focused on Norwegian labor unions, providing detailed membership data and comparisons. Its business model appears to be informational with potential monetization through partnerships or brand presence. The site leverages a strong partnership with Beneficial Apps AS and links to numerous official union domains, enhancing credibility. The target audience is clearly defined as Norwegian workers and union members. The site demonstrates good content quality and consistent branding, positioning it as a trusted resource in its sector. Growth opportunities include expanding content, adding privacy and security policies, and potentially integrating user engagement features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with use of HTTPS (assumed) and privacy-friendly analytics that do not store cookies. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and absence of a published privacy policy or incident response contact reduces overall security maturity. No forms or user input fields are present, minimizing attack surface. The site does not appear to collect sensitive user data, which lowers risk. To improve, the site should implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, add security headers, and provide incident response contact information to align with GDPR and best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection and processing.
  2. Implement a cookie policy and consent mechanism even if no cookies are used, to enhance transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Verify and enforce HTTPS usage site-wide to ensure secure connections.
  5. Provide incident response and security contact information to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5 and CSS3, utilizing Google Fonts (Roboto and Raleway) and Line Awesome icon fonts for visual appeal. It uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics platform, loaded asynchronously to minimize performance impact. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and clear navigation. No CMS or hosting provider information is detectable from the source. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or ads detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and semantic HTML enhancements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
