75/100

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 organization provides comprehensive support services including advisory, capital funding, and networking to entrepreneurs and companies at various stages such as starting, scaling, internationalizing, and renewing their business models. The website reflects a strong market position as a key national innovation facilitator with a clear focus on sustainability and international growth. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. The site employs best practices in SEO, accessibility, and performance optimization, with a well-structured layout and clear navigation. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicates a mature approach to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure program is evident. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure mechanisms. The domain WHOIS data is not publicly available due to Norwegian registry privacy policies, but the domain and website content strongly indicate legitimacy as the official site of Innovasjon Norge. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is fully accessible and safe for general audiences.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  2. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 providing essential services to Norwegian businesses, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and international market expansion. Its business model revolves around facilitating access to capital, expertise, and networks, targeting startups, growth companies, and exporters. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its official government backing, extensive network, and comprehensive service offerings. Revenue streams are likely government-funded, with strategic partnerships enhancing service delivery. The target customers are Norwegian entrepreneurs and companies seeking growth and internationalization support. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with a strong partnership ecosystem and a clear strategic focus on sustainable business development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. Privacy compliance is well addressed through detailed privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response details, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. The security culture appears professional, aligned with government standards, but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance data retention policy disclosures to align with GDPR and user expectations.
  4. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.
  5. Consider adding more explicit contact channels for security and abuse reporting to strengthen incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, providing a responsive and accessible user experience. The use of SVG logos and optimized images contributes to performance. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism powered by OneTrust and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, indicating good technical hygiene. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and SEO-friendly metadata. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the infrastructure supports good performance and mobile optimization. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation related to security and privacy practices.
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.
