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

Norsk vegansamfunn is a Norwegian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting veganism as a life stance and advocating for animal rights. The website serves as an information hub with resources, news, and activism guidance targeting vegans and supporters in Norway. The organization is relatively young, founded in 2020, and positions itself as a niche player in the non-profit sector focused on ethical living and animal welfare. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins like Yoast SEO and AddToAny, offering good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit policies are lacking. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

10 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 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';…

  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

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector with a clear mission to promote veganism and animal rights in Norway. Its business model relies on community engagement, activism, and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The website reflects a consistent brand and active content strategy with recent news and educational materials. Social media integration is strong, supporting community building. Affiliate links suggest some monetization or partnership activities. The organization maintains transparency in domain registration and aligns well with its stated mission, indicating a credible and legitimate presence in its niche market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which limits transparency for security researchers. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be improved by adopting best practices in security headers, policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using version 6.4.5, enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization and AddToAny for social sharing. The theme used is Bravada Plus, which supports responsive design and accessibility features. The site loads moderate external resources, including jQuery and social media widgets. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and enhanced security configurations.
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.
