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

Universitetet i Innlandet is a Norwegian public university offering research-based education at bachelor, master, and doctoral levels, along with continuing education programs. The institution serves students, researchers, and academic staff primarily in Norway, maintaining a strong regional presence with multiple campuses. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, providing comprehensive information about studies, research, and university news. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks, Google Analytics for tracking, and a proprietary CMS (Vortex). It is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility standards, with clear navigation and relevant metadata for SEO. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is due to privacy protection typical for Norwegian domains and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements.

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. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

  2. 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

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 university operates in the education sector, focusing on higher education and research. Its business model is public and service-oriented, targeting students and academic professionals. The institution leverages partnerships with other Norwegian academic entities and uses digital platforms like Canvas for learning management. The website's content and social media presence indicate active engagement with its audience and a commitment to transparency and accessibility. Growth indicators include a broad program offering and active event promotion. The lack of explicit revenue streams on the site is consistent with its public university status. Strategic observations suggest a stable market position with opportunities to enhance digital security and incident response visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and a security.txt file indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could hinder timely reporting of security issues. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but would benefit from enhanced security transparency and formal vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure policy page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information accessible from the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Vortex CMS platform and uses JavaScript extensively, including Google Analytics for user tracking. The site loads asynchronously and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in resource loading and caching strategies. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation aids are present, indicating good compliance with accessibility standards. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but the use of Norwegian academic domains and services suggests local hosting or academic infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal but could be mitigated further by adopting modern security headers and formalizing vulnerability management.
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.
