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

Farligeprodukter.no is an official Norwegian government website operated by the Direktoratet for samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap (DSB). It serves as a centralized platform providing consumers and market actors with information about products that authorities have assessed as potentially harmful. The site offers product safety warnings, recommendations, and a mechanism for users to report dangerous products. It collaborates with multiple Norwegian governmental agencies, reinforcing its authoritative position in the market. The platform targets Norwegian consumers and businesses concerned with product safety, emphasizing public safety and regulatory compliance. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Vue.js and the Quasar Framework, delivering a responsive and accessible user experience. The site is structured as a Progressive Web App with appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring secure communications. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid posture with HTTPS enforcement and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS are not evident, and there is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. Privacy compliance is addressed with a clear privacy policy in Norwegian, aligned with GDPR requirements. No cookie consent mechanism was detected, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and fulfills its role as a government information portal. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, implementing cookie consent, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen security and 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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"

  3. 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 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

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

Farligeprodukter.no occupies a unique niche as a government-operated platform dedicated to product safety information in Norway. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing by multiple Norwegian authorities, providing credibility and comprehensive coverage of dangerous products. The business model is informational and regulatory, focusing on public safety rather than commercial revenue. The platform supports consumer protection and market regulation by enabling product reporting and disseminating safety warnings. Target customers include Norwegian consumers, suppliers, and regulatory bodies. Growth indicators include continuous updates and collaboration with various agencies. The partnership ecosystem is strong within the Norwegian government sector, but no commercial partnerships are evident. The platform's operations emphasize transparency, public trust, and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible security flaws or sensitive data exposure. The use of modern JavaScript frameworks and asynchronous script loading contributes to secure and efficient operation. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could be exploited in certain attack scenarios. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy practices are aligned with GDPR, supported by a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in transparency and defense-in-depth measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies, primarily Vue.js with the Quasar Framework, enabling a responsive and accessible user interface. The presence of a manifest.webmanifest indicates PWA capabilities. The site uses ES modules and asynchronous script loading for performance optimization. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Accessibility features such as skip links and proper ARIA roles are implemented. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the domain and scripts suggest a government-managed infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and caching strategies. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with minor opportunities for enhancement.
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.
