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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Business profile

Go-Ahead Nordic holds a strategic position as a regional rail operator in Norway, leveraging the Go-Ahead Group's expertise. Their business model centers on public transportation services, targeting Norwegian train travelers. The company benefits from a clear brand presence and active social media engagement, which supports customer outreach and brand trust. Revenue streams likely derive from government contracts and ticket sales. The website content and structure reflect a customer-centric approach with travel updates and service information. Partnerships with platforms like Entur and use of Telia's ACE Web SDK indicate integration with national transport ecosystems. Growth indicators include recent service updates and seasonal promotions. The company maintains a medium-sized operational scale with a focus on regional connectivity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent management aligned with GDPR. Security headers such as cache-control are present, but critical headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security are missing, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces moderate tracking but is managed with user consent. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy transparency by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage in the cookie policy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a React-based single-page application hosted on Microsoft Azure, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and asynchronous script loading for performance. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Bing Ads supports marketing and analytics needs. The use of Telia ACE Web SDK indicates advanced visitor management capabilities. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation aids. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be improved with richer structured data. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading helping page speed. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which may impact privacy and security if not regularly reviewed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with opportunities for optimization and security enhancements.
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.
