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

Kult Byrå is a small, Oslo-based technology and design agency specializing in creating visual identities, websites, and smart digital solutions for innovative clients. The website is professionally designed using modern technologies such as Astro, Preact, and Sanity CMS, reflecting a high level of digital maturity and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices in place.

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

Kult Byrå operates in the technology sector as a creative design and technology agency targeting forward-thinking clients. Their business model focuses on delivering bespoke branding and digital solutions, leveraging a portfolio of projects and client testimonials as trust signals. The company was founded in 2016 and maintains a consistent brand presence. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The lack of explicit contact details on the website may limit direct client engagement but aligns with a boutique agency approach. The company appears well-positioned in the Norwegian market with a niche focus on personality-driven design.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain status protections, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header implementation and publish security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Include clear company contact information such as email and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack featuring Astro and Preact frameworks, with Sanity CMS for content management. It uses Mux Player for video content delivery and preconnects to CDN and Cloudflare challenge domains, indicating performance optimization and security considerations. The site is well-structured with responsive design and accessibility features. Hosting appears to be via ProISP DNS servers, though the exact hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Performance is fast with lazy loading of images and optimized media. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enable DNSSEC.
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.
