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

Tekna is a large Norwegian professional association and trade union representing over 115,000 natural scientists, technologists, and students. The organization focuses on securing safe working conditions, competence development, and learning opportunities for its members. The website reflects this mission with clear descriptions and a professional presentation tailored to its target audience. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including VueJS, Bootstrap, and is hosted on Amazon Web Services with Cloudflare providing CDN and security services. The presence of a detailed cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicates a strong commitment to GDPR compliance and user privacy. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers in place, although the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable gap, impacting trust and business credibility scores. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant, serving its audience effectively with room for improvement in transparency and contact availability.

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

4 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Tekna holds a strong market position as a major Norwegian trade union for technical and scientific professionals. Its business model centers on membership services, advocacy, and professional development. The website integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, tag management, and advertising, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The absence of explicit contact details and WHOIS data suggests a cautious approach to public exposure of business details, which may be standard for such organizations. Partnerships with reputable service providers like Cloudflare, AWS, Tealium, and LinkedIn support a robust operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include a large membership base and active digital presence. Strategic observations highlight the importance of enhancing transparency and security communication to strengthen stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare for DDoS protection, and implementation of security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options. The cookie consent banner is comprehensive, categorizing cookies and linking to third-party privacy policies, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are gaps that could impact incident handling and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is good but could be improved by publishing more explicit security governance information and ensuring ongoing third-party script audits.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and cookies to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including VueJS and Bootstrap for frontend, with hosting on AWS and CDN/security via Cloudflare. It uses Tealium for tag management and Piwik PRO for analytics, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses multiple external scripts and stylesheets from reputable sources. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party services and the need for continuous monitoring of these integrations to avoid vulnerabilities or performance degradation.
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.
