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

2 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

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

Lottstift operates as a government entity in the regulatory sector, focusing on lottery and foundation supervision in Norway. Its market position is authoritative and essential within the Norwegian public sector. The business model is regulatory and compliance-driven, funded by government budgets. The website targets Norwegian citizens, organizations involved in lotteries, and foundations. The presence of official social media links and structured data indicates a focus on transparency and accessibility. The use of multiple analytics platforms and consent management reflects a commitment to data privacy and regulatory compliance. No commercial or affiliate relationships were detected, consistent with a government agency profile.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of a reputable cookie consent platform (Cookiebot) to manage user privacy preferences. Analytics are configured to minimize cookie usage and respect user consent. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not evident in the HTML, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information is a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security posture by adding recommended HTTP headers and publishing incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Add visible contact information for security incident reporting, such as a dedicated security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

The site uses Google Tag Manager for tag management and includes scripts for reCAPTCHA and Zendesk for support functionalities. Performance is moderate with modern CSS and responsive design elements ensuring good mobile optimization. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration.

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.
