Enonic’s Norwegian‑built CMS lands you ISO 27001 security, WCAG‑friendly templates, EEA‑hosted cloud, and an off‑the‑shelf SSA‑L contract—so you tick every compliance box and still launch on time.
Written by Morten Eriksen on
Norwegian CMS tenders succeed when every box—including security, accessibility, contract form, and ownership—is ticked before the award letter goes out.
That’s exactly where Enonic shines.
Engineered for public sector compliance from day one, Enonic ships with ISO 27001‑certified EEA hosting, WCAG‑friendly tooling, and a ready‑made SSA‑L SaaS agreement. Legal and security teams can then sign off as quickly as editors fall in love with the UX.
See how each core evaluation criterion maps cleanly to an Enonic capability, letting you reduce procurement risk while accelerating project timelines.
The Norwegian Directorate of Health replaced heavy PDFs with granular, reusable content entities in Enonic, making guidance easier to update and syndicate across channels.
Editors see exactly how a page will look—including personalized blocks—before publishing, cutting rework and training time.
Every item you model in Enonic is exposed instantly through a GraphQL endpoint, so web, mobile, and kiosk teams pull the same single source of truth.
Enonic Cloud runs in EU/EFTA data centres and holds full ISO 27001 certification, giving procurement teams a ready‑made answer to GDPR Article 32 and Norway’s Digital Security Act demands.
Choosing a certified vendor is a standard shortcut to tender eligibility and audit cost‑cuts.
Page templates, color contrast presets, and keyboard navigation tooling help authors meet every WCAG 2.1 AA criterion, aligning with Authority for Universal Design of ICT enforcement expectations.
Enonic and most platform components are released under GPL 3.0 or Apache 2.0, and the code is public on GitHub.
That means your agency can self‑host, switch supplier, or extend the stack without licence penalties. Unlike proprietary SaaS clouds that restrict export paths and APIs.
The platform is delivered as SaaS under Norway’s standard SSA‑L agreement, already mapped to security, uptime, and data‑processing appendices.
Using the government template avoids months of legal red‑lining and lets you compare Enonic bids apples‑to‑apples with other compliant vendors.

Eliminate procurement risk: Choose the CMS that already speaks Norwegian public sector fluently.
Market dialogue helps you understand the supplier landscape, uncover realistic requirements and alternative solutions, and ensure that the specification of requirements is relevant and feasible.
External advisory services contribute with procurement expertise and experience, and can support you in navigating regulations, requirement specifications, and process structure. This is especially useful when internal capacity is limited.
All public websites must follow the requirements for universal design, based on the WCAG 2.1 standard. This should be included in the requirements specification, and the supplier must be able to document how the solution is tested and revised for accessibility.
Ask the supplier to document how they work with security, both technically and organizationally. Certifications such as ISO 27001 are a good indication that security is systematically ensured. In addition, you should request routines for updating, patching, and handling security incidents.
For CMS delivered as a service (SaaS), it is generally recommended to use SSA-L (the government’s standard contract for ongoing services). This covers, among other things, requirements for service levels (SLA), follow-up, changes, and termination of the contract.
