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

KS Digital is a Norwegian government-affiliated digital service provider delivering sustainable shared digital services tailored to the needs of the municipal sector. The company is relatively new, founded in 2024, and targets Norwegian municipalities with digital solutions that align with sector requirements. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear messaging about its mission and services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks such as React, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, leveraging Yoast SEO and structured data for enhanced search visibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security or privacy policies. No forms or direct contact information are present on the homepage, which may impact user engagement and trust. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn

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

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

KS Digital operates in the government sector, focusing on providing digital shared services to Norwegian municipalities. Its business model centers on sustainability and sector-specific digital solutions, positioning it as an essential service provider within the public sector ecosystem. The company leverages partnerships and digital platforms to deliver its services, with a clear focus on the Norwegian market. The presence of a LinkedIn profile and structured data indicates a commitment to professional outreach and digital presence. The company is medium-sized, newly established, and does not show evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies. The lack of explicit contact details and policies suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly centralized through other channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced as indicated by canonical URLs, but no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected in the HTML content. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or vulnerability disclosure information, which are critical for compliance with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of modern frameworks and plugins is positive but requires ongoing monitoring to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public sector website but requires improvements in transparency and technical security controls to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including React and various Gutenberg block plugins, indicating a contemporary approach to content management and user experience. The site uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search visibility. Performance is moderate with standard WordPress assets and some external libraries like FontAwesome and Slick Carousel. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive CSS and adaptive navigation menus. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly detected. The site would benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations.
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.
