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

Medietall.no is the official portal operated by Mediebedriftenes Landsforening (MBL) providing comprehensive media statistics including official coverage numbers, weekly traffic measurements, and other publicly available data relevant to the Norwegian media industry. The website targets MBL members, media professionals, and stakeholders interested in media analytics and statistics. It serves as a trusted source for media data and offers API access and archives for historical data. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5.3, jQuery, and Ionicons, with content delivered via CDN for performance. The site is mobile optimized and features a clean, professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure cookie settings but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies.

Overall, the domain registration and website content align well, indicating a legitimate and trustworthy media association platform.

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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Medietall.no holds a strong market position as the official statistics portal for the Norwegian media industry under MBL. Its business model revolves around providing authoritative media data and insights to members and the broader media sector. Partnerships with Kantar Media and Kilkaya enhance its data credibility and service offerings. The site supports transparency and data-driven decision-making in media through regular updates and accessible archives. The target audience includes media companies, advertisers, researchers, and industry analysts. The business operates in the media sector in Norway, with a medium-sized organizational footprint. The presence of API and archive services indicates a focus on digital service delivery and data accessibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS and secure cookie attributes. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency in handling security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, reducing avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. The absence of terms of service and limited privacy policy details may pose compliance risks. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, enhancements are needed to elevate the security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear terms of service and a detailed privacy policy to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact details to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider deploying a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern frontend stack leveraging Bootstrap 5.3, jQuery, and Ionicons, ensuring responsive design and interactive UI components like carousels. Resources are loaded via reputable CDNs with integrity and crossorigin attributes for security. The site uses custom CSS and JavaScript for branding and functionality. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom or bespoke platform. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing and search engine visibility. However, the site could benefit from improved accessibility features and additional security hardening to reduce technical risks.
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.
