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 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. 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

  3. 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

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

Orkla ASA holds a strong market position as an industrial investment company with active ownership and growth strategies including organic investments and M&A. Their diversified portfolio and clear investor relations content indicate a mature business model focused on sustainable value creation. The company targets investors and business partners, leveraging a broad geographic footprint and multiple subsidiaries. The website supports transparency with detailed governance and financial information, press releases, and media contacts. The presence of a careers subdomain suggests ongoing talent acquisition efforts. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site may indicate a preference for controlled communication channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager allows controlled script management, reducing risk from third-party scripts. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are present and appear GDPR compliant, supporting regulatory adherence. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cloudflare Stream for video content delivery, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and layouts. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML or CSS. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare services, providing CDN and security benefits. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
