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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 23 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Norid AS holds a critical position in Norway's internet infrastructure as the authoritative registry for .no domains. Its business model centers on providing registry services and supporting registrars and domain holders. The company targets a broad audience including businesses, individuals, and government entities. Norid's market position is strong and unique due to its official status. The website reflects a stable, medium-sized organization with a focus on transparency and compliance. The absence of WHOIS data aligns with privacy protection policies typical for registries. Norid's ecosystem includes partnerships with registrars and technical service providers, though no explicit partner domains were identified on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and ISO 27001 certification indicating adherence to recognized security standards. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of certain security headers and lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information suggest areas for enhancement. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or advertising, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from improved transparency and additional security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and make accessible an incident response policy and contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Add explicit Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update technical stack and security practices to maintain high security and performance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using jQuery and Easy Fancybox plugins, optimized with Autoptimize for performance. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with good SEO practices. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and security header implementation. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the organization's needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
