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

KraftCERT AS is a specialized non-profit cybersecurity organization focused on securing process control systems within the Norwegian energy sector, including power, petroleum, and related industries. It operates as an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) and Incident Response Team (IRT), providing members with vulnerability monitoring, threat intelligence, incident handling, advisory services, exercises, and training. The organization holds recognized certifications such as Trusted Introducer and FIRST membership, reinforcing its credibility and sector-specific expertise. Technically, the website employs a modern Bootstrap framework with JavaScript enhancements, offering a responsive and well-structured user experience. While the site lacks advanced analytics and tracking, it uses email obfuscation and provides PGP keys to secure communications. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are absent, and no security headers were detected, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security hardening. The security posture is solid in terms of operational focus and incident response capabilities, but the website itself could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized privacy documentation. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis, but the detailed contact information, certifications, and professional presentation support legitimacy. Overall, KraftCERT presents a trustworthy and professional front for its niche cybersecurity services, with recommendations to improve privacy compliance and web security practices to further strengthen stakeholder confidence.

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

5 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.

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Twitter, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

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

Business profile

KraftCERT occupies a critical niche as a sector-specific cybersecurity entity serving the Norwegian energy and process industries. Its non-profit model emphasizes collaboration, information sharing, and incident response, positioning it as a trusted partner for national infrastructure protection. The organization's partnerships with government bodies and international CERT forums enhance its strategic value. Revenue likely derives from membership fees and government contracts. The clear focus on specialized services such as vulnerability monitoring, threat intelligence, and training indicates a mature service portfolio tailored to its audience. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking suggests a privacy-respecting approach aligned with its mission. Growth potential exists through expanded membership and deeper integration with national cybersecurity frameworks.

Security posture

KraftCERT demonstrates a mature security posture operationally, acting as a trusted incident response and information sharing center. The website supports secure communication via PGP keys and obfuscated emails, reducing exposure to scraping and spam. However, the lack of detected security headers and absence of privacy and cookie policies highlight gaps in web security and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the site content. Incident response contact channels are clearly provided, supporting readiness. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain trust but may be due to registry policies. Overall, the security posture is strong in mission and operations but could improve in web security hygiene and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Deploy a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Conduct a thorough SSL/TLS configuration review to ensure strong encryption and modern protocols are enforced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and meet best practices for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and layout, with JavaScript for interactivity and email obfuscation. No CMS or third-party analytics/tracking scripts were detected, indicating a lightweight and privacy-conscious implementation. The site loads moderate content including images and icons, with good mobile optimization. However, no advanced SEO or accessibility features were identified beyond basic meta tags and viewport settings. Hosting provider and SSL details are not disclosed in the content. Performance appears moderate with no obvious bottlenecks. The absence of security headers and privacy policies suggests technical debt in compliance and security best 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.
