Risk levelLow

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

KONGSBERG is a large, internationally recognized technology group specializing in high-technology systems and solutions for the oil and gas, merchant marine, defense, and aerospace industries. The company targets industrial and governmental customers with a B2B business model, leveraging a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and partner companies. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, professional design, and clear navigation tailored to their target audience. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and tracking technologies such as Piwik PRO, Azure Application Insights, and Google Tag Manager, combined with a robust consent management system via OneTrust. The site is hosted on a reliable CDN infrastructure (Amazon CloudFront) and demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility standards. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and manages user consent effectively. However, it lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response page, and no vulnerability disclosure policy is published. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional business presence. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic improvements in transparency around security policies and incident response would further enhance trust and security maturity.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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 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

KONGSBERG holds a strong market position as a diversified technology supplier in critical sectors such as energy, defense, and transportation. Their business model focuses on delivering specialized high-tech solutions to industrial and governmental clients. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and partner domains indicates a broad ecosystem supporting their operations. The company demonstrates compliance with international standards (ISO certifications) and GDPR, reflecting a commitment to quality and regulatory adherence. Their digital footprint supports extensive analytics and marketing efforts balanced with privacy compliance, indicating a sophisticated approach to customer engagement and data management.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and consent management for cookies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a public security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data is unusual but likely a technical or privacy protection issue rather than a direct security risk. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and procedures for reporting security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or verify domain registration details to improve trustworthiness.

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.
