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

Storebrand is a well-established Nordic financial services group specializing in pensions, insurance, and asset management. With a history dating back to 1767 and assets under management exceeding 1,400 billion NOK, it holds a leading market position in Norway and the broader Nordic region. The website reflects a mature business with clear branding, comprehensive service offerings, and a focus on sustainability. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Blazor and integrates with Salesforce and various analytics and marketing tools, indicating a high level of digital maturity. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the site's security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear cookie and privacy policies and consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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"

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

Storebrand operates in the finance sector, targeting both private individuals and corporate clients in the Nordic region. Its business model revolves around long-term savings, insurance products, and asset management services. The company leverages a broad portfolio of subsidiaries and brands, including SPP and Storebrand Fonder, to diversify offerings. The website's content and structure emphasize sustainability and corporate responsibility, aligning with market trends and customer expectations. The presence of investor relations content and frequent reporting indicates transparency and engagement with shareholders. The partnership ecosystem includes Salesforce and various marketing and analytics providers, supporting a data-driven approach to customer engagement and business growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates some security best practices such as Content Security Policy and secure cookie attributes. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a major vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No other critical vulnerabilities or exposures were detected in the content or headers. The site lacks explicit security policies or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance security culture and readiness. Privacy compliance is well addressed, but the security posture overall is weakened by the missing encryption layer.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Ubuntu server running nginx 1.18.0 and uses Blazor Server technology for frontend interactivity. It integrates with Salesforce platforms and employs Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and OneTrust for analytics and cookie consent management. The site is well structured with SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance metrics were not available, but the site appears optimized for mobile devices and accessibility is basic but present. The absence of SSL/TLS is a significant technical debt. The DNS records show no DNSSEC or CAA records, which could be added to improve DNS security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security enhancements.
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.
