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

Landsorganisasjonen i Norge (LO) is the largest trade union confederation in Norway, serving as a representative body for workers and providing member support and advocacy. The website www.lo.no acts as an information portal primarily targeting Norwegian workers and union members, offering resources related to labor rights and union activities. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality, reflecting its position as a major non-profit organization in the government sector. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, Hotjar for user behavior analytics, Meta Pixel for marketing, Snap Pixel, Plausible Analytics, and Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure communications. However, explicit security headers and detailed privacy or terms of service pages are not detected, indicating areas for improvement in security posture and compliance transparency. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protections common in Norwegian domains and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site maintains a moderate to good security posture but would benefit from publishing explicit security policies and contact information for incident response. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website appearing trustworthy and professionally managed. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and improving accessibility features to meet compliance standards. These steps will strengthen trust and security culture while ensuring regulatory adherence.

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

3 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. 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
    • 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

LO holds a dominant market position as Norway's largest trade union confederation, focusing on labor rights advocacy and member services. Its business model is non-profit and membership-based, targeting workers across various sectors in Norway. The organization leverages partnerships with major analytics and marketing platforms to optimize user engagement and outreach. Growth indicators include a well-maintained digital presence and use of advanced tracking tools. The partnership ecosystem includes major technology providers like Microsoft and Google, enhancing operational capabilities. Strategic observations suggest LO prioritizes transparency and user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements, though formal policy disclosures could be improved.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent framework that respects user privacy preferences. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools is managed through explicit consent, indicating compliance awareness. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No direct contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures are provided, limiting incident response readiness. Compliance gaps include missing explicit privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the security culture appears positive but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with relevant standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Hotjar, Meta Pixel, Snap Pixel, Plausible Analytics, and Microsoft Application Insights, indicating a high level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and employs asynchronous loading of scripts to improve performance. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The absence of certain security headers and incomplete metadata for privacy and terms pages suggests some technical debt. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility compliance, as well as to formalize security configurations to reduce risk.
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.
