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

NHO Service og Handel is a major Norwegian business association representing approximately 6,800 companies and around 130,000 employees across various sectors including employment, recruitment, health and welfare, safety, trade, and wellness. The website reflects a professional organization with a clear focus on service and trade industries in Norway. The digital infrastructure incorporates modern analytics and marketing technologies such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Application Insights, Cookiebot for consent management, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and consent mechanisms in place, though the absence of explicit privacy policies and terms of service pages limits full compliance visibility. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trust verification, but the website content and technology usage suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a positive user experience for its target audience.

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 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. 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 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

The organization holds a strong market position as one of the two largest national associations within NHO, serving a broad range of service and trade sectors. Its business model centers on representing member companies and providing industry-specific services and advocacy. The website targets businesses and professionals within Norway's service and trade industries. The presence of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools indicates active engagement in digital marketing and user behavior analysis. However, the absence of direct contact details and privacy policy documentation suggests areas for improvement in transparency and user trust. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified, indicating a focused organizational structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and use of advanced bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise. Cookie consent is managed through Cookiebot with detailed cookie categorization, supporting GDPR compliance efforts. However, no security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, and no security or incident response policies are published on the site. The absence of a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure information limits the organization's transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet recognized standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript modules, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot mitigation. The site loads asynchronously many scripts to optimize performance and uses preconnect hints for Google domains to improve loading times. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. No CMS or hosting provider information was explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The site is well-structured with clear metadata but lacks some compliance documentation.
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.
