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

Kovert is a newly established Norwegian cybersecurity consultancy founded in 2023, specializing in vulnerability assessments and IT security testing. The company positions itself as a proactive security partner that identifies weaknesses before hackers can exploit them. The website content is minimal but professional, targeting businesses seeking expert cybersecurity services. The business model focuses on consultancy and tailored security solutions, with a clear emphasis on protecting clients from cyber threats. Technically, the website uses modern front-end technologies such as Bulma CSS and Font Awesome icons, providing a responsive and visually consistent user experience. However, the site lacks advanced technical features such as CMS integration, analytics, or marketing tools. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate to good, but accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. No hosting or platform details are discernible from the provided data. From a security perspective, the website benefits from HTTPS but lacks essential security headers and published security policies, which lowers its overall security posture. There are no visible forms or interactive elements, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are publicly available, which could impact trust from security-conscious clients. Overall, Kovert presents as a legitimate, small cybersecurity consultancy with a professional but basic online presence. The domain registration aligns well with the company’s founding date, supporting legitimacy. To improve risk posture and market trust, the company should enhance security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and provide clear incident response contacts. These steps will strengthen compliance and client confidence while supporting business growth.

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. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

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

Kovert operates in the niche cybersecurity consultancy market in Norway, targeting businesses requiring vulnerability assessments and IT security testing. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its proactive approach to identifying weaknesses before exploitation. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on expert consultancy rather than product sales. Revenue streams likely derive from client engagements and security testing contracts. The website’s minimal content and lack of extensive marketing tools suggest an early-stage or boutique operation. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated, and no social media presence is evident, which may limit market reach. Growth potential depends on expanding digital presence and compliance maturity to attract larger clients.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory, but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No published security policies or incident response contacts are available, limiting transparency and preparedness. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files reduces trust for security researchers and clients. No forms or user input fields reduce exposure to injection or data leakage risks. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies, impacting GDPR adherence. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires significant improvements to meet industry best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and build user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@kovert.no).
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance website content and navigation to improve user experience and support business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern CSS framework (Bulma) and Font Awesome icons for styling and visual elements, indicating a contemporary front-end approach. The HTML structure is valid but minimal, with no detected CMS or backend technologies. External resources are limited to a CDN for CSS and icons, reducing third-party dependencies. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or caching. Mobile responsiveness is good due to Bulma’s responsive design. SEO and accessibility features are basic, with minimal meta tags and no ARIA landmarks or advanced accessibility attributes. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating limited user data collection. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content.
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.
