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

NRK P3 is a well-established Norwegian public media channel focused on music, entertainment, and news. The website serves as a digital platform for streaming, event coverage, and audience engagement, targeting Norwegian-speaking youth and music enthusiasts. It operates under the umbrella of NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, reflecting a strong national media presence with a domain age dating back to 2001. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Foundation CSS and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Snowplow Analytics for tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and user experience, though accessibility features appear basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and SEO enhancements. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage and no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information limits the security maturity. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which is a significant gap given GDPR requirements. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures, security policies, and contact transparency to improve compliance and user trust.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

NRK P3 holds a strong market position as a national public broadcaster's youth-oriented music channel. Its business model is primarily public service media funded by the Norwegian government, focusing on content delivery rather than direct monetization. The channel leverages digital platforms to extend reach and engagement, targeting young adults interested in contemporary music and culture. Partnerships within the NRK ecosystem and event sponsorships likely contribute to its operational model. The website's consistent branding and long domain history indicate stability and credibility in the Norwegian media landscape.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS and no visible critical vulnerabilities. The use of reputable analytics tools and absence of exposed credentials are positive indicators. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, posing compliance risks under GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response channel.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with custom NRK themes and integrates modern front-end frameworks like Foundation CSS. It uses JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Snowplow for analytics and tracking. The site loads multiple external scripts from NRK domains and trusted CDNs, indicating a controlled technical environment. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and caching. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags but lacks advanced accessibility implementations. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to align with best practices.
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.
