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

Planprosessen.no is a Norwegian digital platform designed to streamline and digitalize the planning notification process for both private and public planning proposals. The service enables users to create projects, gather necessary information, prepare plan data, and distribute notifications digitally through the Altinn platform. The website is co-developed and supported by Ambita AS and Norconsult Digital AS, two established Norwegian companies, positioning Planprosessen as a niche but trusted solution integrated with national digital infrastructure. The platform targets planning consultants and applicants, offering a comprehensive SaaS model that simplifies regulatory compliance and communication with affected parties and authorities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Advanced Custom Fields, and integrates tracking and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site demonstrates good SEO, accessibility, and mobile optimization, with a moderate performance profile. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent, though some security headers are not explicitly detected. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The security posture is solid with good privacy compliance, including a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. However, the site lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the business profile, indicating legitimacy and consistency. Strategically, Planprosessen is well-positioned within the Norwegian government and technology sectors, leveraging partnerships with Ambita AS, Norconsult Digital AS, KS, and Altinn. The platform's integration with public digital services and focus on regulatory compliance provide competitive advantages. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen security and 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

6 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 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Cloudflare, 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

Planprosessen operates in the government and technology sectors, providing a specialized SaaS platform for digital plan notifications in Norway. Its competitive advantage lies in deep integration with national digital services such as Altinn and KS FIKS Meldingsformidler, enabling seamless communication with authorities and affected parties. The business model focuses on subscription or user account creation, targeting planning consultants and applicants. Partnerships with Ambita AS and Norconsult Digital AS enhance credibility and technical capabilities. The company demonstrates growth potential through digital transformation trends in public sector planning processes. The website content and testimonials indicate positive user reception and operational efficiency gains. The partnership ecosystem includes key public and private stakeholders, reinforcing market position.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent managed via Cookiebot, denying ad personalization and tracking by default. Tracking tools are used responsibly with user consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, limiting transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve in formal security documentation and header implementation to align with best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance frameworks followed.
  3. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimal user tracking.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using up-to-date plugins and libraries such as Yoast SEO and Advanced Custom Fields Pro. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and Facebook Pixel and Hotjar for user behavior tracking, all managed with Cookiebot consent. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to optimize performance. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Hosting details are not explicit, but the site uses CDN resources from Cloudflare and cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible deprecated or vulnerable components.
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.
