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

LPO Arkitekter is Norway's largest independent architectural firm specializing in architecture for cities, places, buildings, and spaces with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and inclusive design processes. The company positions itself as a leader in the Norwegian architectural market, serving a broad audience including municipalities, developers, and the general public interested in urban development. Their business model centers on delivering comprehensive architectural and urban planning services with an emphasis on human-centric solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Plausible Analytics for tracking, alongside lazy loading for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and features good SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. The infrastructure appears stable and professionally maintained, with no signs of outdated or vulnerable libraries. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks several security headers and does not provide a visible cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy and security policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data is not publicly available due to Norid's policies, but the domain and website content align with a legitimate and professional business entity. Overall, the website presents a strong business credibility and technical foundation but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and 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

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

LPO Arkitekter holds a strong market position as Norway's largest independent architectural firm, leveraging its reputation for innovation and sustainability to attract clients in the real estate and urban development sectors. Their competitive advantage lies in their inclusive design approach and strategic partnerships, such as with LOF and Vasser AS. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on architectural design and urban planning with potential revenue streams from consulting and project execution. The firm's growth is indicated by recent leadership appointments and active project portfolios. Their partnership ecosystem includes web development and industry collaborators, supporting a robust operational framework.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms and detailed GDPR-aligned policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Enhancing security headers and publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies would significantly improve the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism to meet regulatory requirements.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they comply with privacy standards and do not introduce vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies including jQuery 3.6.0, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Plausible Analytics for tracking and analytics. It uses lazy loading for images and videos to optimize performance and employs CSS Grid and Flexbox for responsive layout. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not available. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
