Risk levelLow

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

Transport21 is a Norwegian research initiative focused on advancing transportation systems through collaborative research and development. The website serves as a platform for stakeholders in the transport sector including researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals. It leverages modern cloud infrastructure primarily hosted on Microsoft Azure and employs advanced analytics tools such as Piwik PRO and Microsoft Application Insights to monitor and improve user experience. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with responsive design, accessibility features, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are absent. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the professional content and use of reputable services support its credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and providing clearer contact information to improve trust and compliance.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Transport21 operates as an important entity within Norway's transportation research sector, collaborating with multiple partner organizations such as Maritim21, Energi21, and others. Its business model centers on research coordination and knowledge dissemination funded by government and industry stakeholders. The website targets a specialized audience of transport sector professionals and researchers. The presence of multiple related domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The platform's content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a strong market position in national transport innovation. However, the absence of explicit company contact details and WHOIS transparency suggests areas for improvement in business credibility and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure cookie usage, and a comprehensive cookie consent banner aligned with GDPR requirements. Use of Microsoft Azure and Piwik PRO analytics indicates reliance on trusted cloud and analytics providers. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, lack of published security policies, and no visible incident response contacts represent gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add clear and accessible company contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack leveraging Microsoft Azure cloud services and ASP.NET platform components. It integrates Piwik PRO for analytics and CookieInformation for consent management, indicating a focus on privacy compliance and user tracking transparency. The site uses asynchronously loaded JavaScript for telemetry and analytics, improving performance. Fonts and stylesheets are preloaded and prefetched to optimize loading times. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through enhanced caching and security header optimizations. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform.
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.
