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

Innovasjon Norge is a Norwegian government agency dedicated to fostering sustainable growth and export opportunities for Norwegian businesses. The agency provides a range of services including startup support, scaling assistance, internationalization programs, and sustainability initiatives. Their market position is that of a national innovation and business development authority, targeting Norwegian enterprises seeking to innovate and expand globally. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with content managed via Sanity CMS. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting good digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses standard security headers, and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security policy pages, vulnerability disclosure, and direct contact information for incident response, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data is due to Norid's privacy policies for .no domains, but the site branding and content strongly support legitimacy. Overall, Innovasjon Norge's website presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious platform suitable for its government agency role. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear security and privacy policies, enhancing transparency with vulnerability disclosures, and providing explicit contact channels for security incidents to further strengthen trust 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

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

Innovasjon Norge operates as a government agency focused on enabling innovation and business growth in Norway. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive support services, and targeted programs for startups, scaling companies, and international expansion. The business model revolves around providing funding, expertise, and networking opportunities rather than direct commercial sales. The agency targets Norwegian businesses across sectors such as energy, transportation, and sustainability. Growth indicators include active international programs and digital presence. The partnership ecosystem includes government bodies and international networks, although no explicit partner domains were identified in the content. The agency maintains a strong market presence as the primary innovation facilitator in Norway.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers in place. The use of cookie consent tools aligns with GDPR compliance efforts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. These gaps could impact incident handling and user trust. The domain's WHOIS privacy is typical for .no domains but limits external verification. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact information for security issues.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide official verification to improve trust signals.
  5. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on React and Next.js frameworks, supported by Sanity CMS for content management. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting a mature approach to user tracking and privacy. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data usage. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and external dependencies. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of CDN services like Sanity and Google indicates reliable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security-related metadata.
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.
