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

Proff AS operates the website proff.no, a Norwegian business information platform providing comprehensive data on Norwegian companies including financials, official roles, shareholders, and industry overviews. The company is part of the Enento Group, a recognized entity in the Nordic business information market. The website targets professionals and businesses seeking detailed corporate data to support decision-making and market analysis. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies such as Next.js and React, with integrations for analytics and advertising managed through Google Tag Manager and other third-party services. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, multiple security headers, and a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces domain registration trustworthiness, though the website content and business affiliations strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform for business data services in Norway.

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. 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 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. 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 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

Proff AS holds a solid market position as a provider of business intelligence and corporate data services in Norway. Its offerings include detailed financial reports, role and shareholder information, segmentation tools, and network searches, catering to a broad spectrum of business users. The company benefits from its affiliation with Enento Group, enhancing its credibility and resource base. Revenue streams likely include subscription services, data exports, and API access. The platform's integration with multiple advertising and analytics networks supports monetization and user insights. The target customer segments are primarily Norwegian businesses, financial analysts, and professionals requiring verified corporate data. The website's comprehensive service suite and clear business model position it well for continued growth in the Nordic market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and a transparent cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is extensive but managed with consent and standard industry tools. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security certifications. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing explicit security policies and incident response information to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce potential attack surface.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications to boost user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js frameworks, supported by Material UI for consistent styling. It integrates multiple third-party services for advertising (InMobi, Adnami), analytics (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager), and consent management (InMobi CMP). The site demonstrates good SEO practices with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of key assets. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust, scalable, and user-friendly platform for business data services.
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.
