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

Stiftelsen Norsk Maritim Kompetanse is a Norwegian foundation dedicated to maritime competence development and recruitment initiatives for Norwegian seafarers. The organization provides grants for training positions and project support, positioning itself as a specialized non-profit entity within the Norwegian maritime sector. The website content is primarily in Norwegian and targets maritime stakeholders including shipping companies and seafarers. Technically, the website is built on the CustomPublish CMS platform, utilizing common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, LightGallery, and LightSlider. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers or explicit HTTPS enforcement details, and no vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies are published. The WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available, which is typical for .no domains, but the website content and domain usage align with a legitimate maritime foundation. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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 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';…

  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

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

The foundation operates in the transportation sector, specifically maritime competence and training. It serves a niche market focused on Norwegian seafarers and shipping companies, offering financial support for training and projects. The business model is non-profit and essential to the maritime industry's workforce development. The website reflects consistent branding and clear organizational focus but lacks extensive digital marketing or analytics integration. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The organization maintains a moderate trust level with clear contact information and official branding but could enhance transparency with privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website shows a basic security posture with no detected security headers and no published security or incident response policies. HTTPS usage is assumed but not explicitly confirmed from the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content or scripts. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and readiness for incident handling. Privacy compliance is limited, with no explicit privacy policy found, though a cookie policy with consent is present. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and improving privacy compliance to align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with HSTS to ensure secure communications.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, processing, and user rights.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including a security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the CustomPublish CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and popular JavaScript libraries for UI components like sliders and galleries. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and hosts images on a custompublish.com CDN. Performance is moderate with some modern UI elements but lacks advanced optimization or modern frameworks. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO metadata is minimal with generic descriptions and keywords. No external analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical stack is stable but could be modernized with improved SEO, accessibility, and security 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.
