Security score

82/100

Risk levelLow

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

IEA Norge operates as the Norwegian representative and coordinator for the International Energy Agency's technology collaboration programs. The organization facilitates information dissemination and participation coordination for Norwegian stakeholders in various energy and technology programs involving over 40 countries. The website reflects a professional governmental or quasi-governmental entity with a focus on energy and transportation sectors. Technically, the site is hosted on Microsoft Azure and uses modern analytics tools such as Piwik PRO and Microsoft Application Insights, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The presence of a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and privacy policies demonstrates good privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, though the absence of explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-maintained, and serves its target audience effectively.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 an important position in Norway's energy and technology ecosystem, acting as a liaison for international collaboration under the IEA umbrella. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on governmental coordination and expert network facilitation. The website's partner domains indicate a broad ecosystem of related Norwegian research and technology initiatives. The lack of direct contact information on the site may reflect its role as an informational portal rather than a customer-facing business. The use of advanced hosting and analytics platforms supports operational efficiency and data-driven insights.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a good baseline security and privacy posture. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no public security policy or incident response contact information is available. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency and may hinder external security reporting. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were found in the content or scripts. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact information for data protection officers or privacy contacts to enhance GDPR compliance visibility.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Microsoft Azure for hosting and leverages Piwik PRO and Microsoft Application Insights for analytics and monitoring, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. The front-end employs standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a responsive design and focus ring styles for keyboard navigation. Cookie consent is managed via a third-party service (CookieInformation), ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements possible through enhanced caching and security header implementation.
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.
