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

Sabima is a Norwegian non-profit environmental organization dedicated to halting biodiversity loss and conserving natural habitats such as forests, wetlands, and cultural landscapes. The website serves as a platform for advocacy, public education, and fundraising, featuring campaigns, news, events, and membership information. Sabima holds a strong position in the Norwegian environmental NGO sector, collaborating with multiple member associations and maintaining active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce integration for e-commerce functionality. It employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics for tracking, Google Maps API for geospatial features, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good performance and accessibility standards, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response plan. Privacy compliance is generally good, with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but it lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to Norid's privacy policy for .no domains, which is typical and not suspicious. Overall, Sabima's website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with minor improvements recommended in security headers and cookie consent to enhance 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

9 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 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 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

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

Sabima operates as a key environmental NGO in Norway, focusing on biodiversity conservation and public engagement. Its business model relies on advocacy, membership, donations, and educational campaigns. The organization benefits from a network of member associations, enhancing its reach and influence. The website supports fundraising and awareness efforts, indicating a sustainable revenue stream through donations and merchandise sales. Sabima's market positioning is strong within the Norwegian environmental sector, leveraging digital tools effectively to engage its audience. The partnership ecosystem includes specialized biological and ecological societies, reinforcing its credibility and collaborative approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of up-to-date libraries and deferred loading of scripts reduces attack surface. Privacy compliance is good, but the lack of a cookie consent banner is a minor gap. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a non-profit but could be enhanced with formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider DNSSEC deployment to enhance domain name system security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr, and integrates Google services including Maps API and Analytics. The site is optimized for mobile devices and employs SEO best practices via Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and CDN usage for fonts and scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. The technical stack is well-maintained but would benefit from additional security hardening and privacy features.
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.
