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

      • 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

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

NOVA Spektrum operates in the event hosting sector within Norway, focusing on exhibitions and concerts. Its market positioning is that of a medium-sized regional venue with a professional online presence. The company leverages a network of related domains, possibly subsidiaries or partners, to extend its service offerings. The business model is primarily venue rental and event facilitation, targeting event organizers, exhibitors, and visitors. The website content and structure support this model with dedicated sections for different user groups and multilingual support. The presence of GDPR-compliant cookie management and analytics indicates a mature approach to data privacy. However, the lack of explicit contact details and terms of service pages may limit transparency. The company appears to maintain a moderate growth trajectory with a focus on digital presence and compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and implements a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-respecting tracking. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for handling security incidents and building trust. The website uses popular and regularly updated plugins and frameworks, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear terms of service page to improve legal transparency and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious data collection. The site includes GDPR-compliant cookie management via the Complianz plugin. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities, particularly in accessibility and SEO. The site is mobile optimized and features responsive design elements.

Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards.
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.
