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

5 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 27 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

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

Norwegian Offshore Rental AS operates in the offshore energy sector, focusing on equipment rental for subsea, ROV, and geophysical markets. The company leverages a rental business model to save customers costs and storage needs. Its practical location in Norway between Stavanger and Bergen supports efficient service delivery. The company maintains a broad product catalog with hundreds of items, indicating a comprehensive inventory and strong market presence. Partnerships and certifications like Achilles enhance credibility. The website's integration with social media and marketing tools suggests active engagement with industry stakeholders. Growth indicators include frequent product updates and a newsletter subscription option. The company targets offshore contractors and subsea operators, positioning itself as a trusted equipment rental partner.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via Cloudflare and Google reCAPTCHA. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. Security best practices include no visible sensitive data exposure and secure form handling. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy reduces defense in depth. No published security or incident response policies were found, which could impact incident handling readiness. The use of third-party scripts and analytics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from formalized security documentation and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce additional security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing risks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize exposure to known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding more visible certifications, testimonials, or security seals on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and optimized tech stack including Gravity Forms for form management, Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. It uses Cloudflare for bot management and CDN services, and Gumlet for image optimization, contributing to fast load times and good performance. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA labels. The use of asynchronous script loading and deferred resources further improves performance. Technical debt appears low, but security headers could be better implemented. The infrastructure supports scalability and efficient content delivery, suitable for a medium-sized business in the offshore rental sector.
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.
