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

Teknisk Ukeblad is a leading Norwegian technology news media outlet providing comprehensive coverage of technology sectors including energy, maritime, construction, industry, health, electric vehicles, aviation, and transportation. The website targets Norwegian technology professionals and enthusiasts with subscription and advertising-based business model. The digital infrastructure is built on modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, with integration of video streaming and consent management platforms to ensure GDPR compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and consent management but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response policies. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting trust assessment, but the professional content and consistent branding indicate a legitimate and established business. Overall, the website offers excellent content quality and user experience with room for security and transparency improvements.

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. 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

Teknisk Ukeblad holds a strong market position as a primary source of technology news in Norway, serving a large audience interested in various technology sectors. The business model relies on subscriptions and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with trusted analytics and advertising networks. The company demonstrates digital maturity with modern web frameworks and GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. Growth indicators include frequent updates and diverse content formats such as podcasts and video. The partnership ecosystem includes major analytics and advertising platforms, enhancing monetization and audience insights. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing security transparency and expanding direct contact channels to strengthen business credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a consent management platform, indicating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are visible, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks if not regularly audited. Compliance with GDPR is supported by the consent mechanism, but explicit privacy and security policies are not clearly found. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with opportunities for improvement in transparency, policy publication, and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Provide clear and accessible security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels.
  3. Enhance transparency by publishing detailed privacy and cookie policies on the main domain.
  4. Audit third-party scripts regularly to mitigate privacy and security risks.
  5. Expand visible business contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack centered on React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. Integration with Mux for video streaming and Sourcepoint for consent management reflects advanced digital capabilities. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and CSS. Mobile optimization is good, supporting responsive design and accessibility features, though some accessibility improvements are possible. SEO is well supported with meta tags and Open Graph data. The lack of visible CMS information suggests a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence with room for 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.
