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

KIWI Norge AS operates a large grocery retail chain in Norway with nearly 700 stores, targeting Norwegian consumers seeking affordable and convenient grocery shopping. The website provides rich content including store locators, customer magazines, and loyalty program information (KIWI PLUSS). Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET MVC with AngularJS and integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Analytics and Piwik Pro for analytics and marketing. The site is hosted on Microsoft Azure and uses modern web technologies but lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in insecure HTTP connections. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy are present but could be hardened further. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, linked to the trusted trumf.no domain. Contact information is clearly provided with phone numbers and physical address, and social media presence is active. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but has a critical security gap due to missing HTTPS.

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

8 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

KIWI holds a strong market position as a leading grocery retailer in Norway, leveraging a loyalty program and customer engagement through digital channels and customer magazines. The business model focuses on retail sales supported by digital marketing and customer loyalty. Partnerships with trumf.no for loyalty and analytics providers like Piwik Pro indicate a mature marketing ecosystem. The company targets a broad consumer base in Norway and maintains consistent branding and content quality. The absence of visible email contacts suggests a preference for phone and web-based customer support channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with use of security headers and secure cookie flags. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to data interception risks. The Content-Security-Policy is implemented but allows unsafe inline scripts, which could be exploited. No explicit incident response or security policy information is found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The site uses anti-forgery tokens in forms, which is a positive security control. Overall, the security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and incomplete security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Harden Content-Security-Policy to remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives.
  3. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature technology stack based on ASP.NET MVC and AngularJS, hosted on Microsoft Azure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Piwik Pro. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels. Performance data is not available, but the use of lazy loading and CDN-hosted fonts suggests optimization efforts. The site uses anti-forgery tokens in forms indicating good security hygiene. However, the absence of HTTPS is a major technical risk. The site could benefit from modernizing some frontend frameworks and improving SSL/TLS configuration to enhance security and performance.
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.
