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

Oslo Innovation Week is a prominent event organizer focused on fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in Oslo, Norway. The organization highlights sectors such as renewable energy, health technology, circular economy, and ocean technology, showcasing a vibrant ecosystem of startups and scaleups. Their flagship event, scheduled for October 2025, emphasizes real-world impact and collaboration within the local innovation community. The website serves as a hub for event information, program exploration, and community engagement, supported by partnerships with local innovation hubs like Mesh and the Nobel Peace Center. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Plausible Analytics for minimal user tracking. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, with a clean design and clear navigation. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced, though some standard security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy present, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as secure form handling and encrypted connections. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for event domains but limits external verification of registrant details. Overall, Oslo Innovation Week's digital presence is professional and trustworthy, supporting its role as a key innovation event in Norway. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its risk posture and stakeholder confidence.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Oslo Innovation Week occupies a leading position in the Oslo innovation ecosystem, acting as a catalyst for startups, scaleups, investors, and other stakeholders. Its business model centers on event organization, networking facilitation, and ecosystem building, generating revenue likely through sponsorships, partnerships, and event participation fees. The organization leverages partnerships with coworking spaces and cultural institutions to enhance its offerings. The target audience includes entrepreneurs, investors, press, and event organizers, reflecting a broad engagement strategy. Growth indicators include a multi-day event schedule, diverse program offerings, and active social media presence. The partnership ecosystem is strong, with collaborations that enhance operational capacity and market reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form inputs. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain web-based attacks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of published security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness communication. GDPR compliance is partially met with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional security headers, publishing incident response information, and implementing cookie consent to enhance compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security practices to maintain compliance and trust as the event and website evolve.

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.
