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

Grunnstoffene.no is a Norwegian educational website and podcast focused on the periodic table of elements. It offers a unique content model with one podcast episode per chemical element, targeting Norwegian-speaking students, educators, and chemistry enthusiasts. The site is built on WordPress using the Twenty Twenty-One theme and optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure supports good mobile responsiveness and accessibility, with a clean and interactive design. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie and privacy policies present but no explicit consent mechanism. Business credibility is moderate due to the absence of direct contact information and formal trust signals. Overall, the site is a well-maintained educational resource with room for improvement in 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

9 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 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';…

  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

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 website operates in the education sector, focusing on chemistry education through podcasts and informational content. Its niche positioning as a podcast per element offers a unique value proposition. The business model appears content-driven without evident monetization or advertising. The target audience is primarily Norwegian speakers interested in chemistry. The site shows consistent branding and quality content but lacks explicit business contact details or certifications. Growth potential could be enhanced by adding more engagement features and formal business information. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with external links only to podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced, which is essential. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting insight into user behavior. The absence of contact information for security or abuse reporting is a gap. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security and abuse reporting channels.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible security communication.
  5. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly state GDPR compliance measures and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Twenty Twenty-One theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a solid foundation for SEO and content management. The use of CSS Grid and responsive design techniques ensures good mobile optimization and accessibility. The site loads scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical JavaScript, contributing to moderate performance. No heavy analytics or advertising scripts were detected, which benefits privacy and speed. However, the lack of security headers and absence of advanced security configurations represent technical risks. The domain is secured with HTTPS and uses modern HTML5 standards. Overall, the technical implementation is sound but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
