NIS2 (source) — No public evidence

As a central government agency, the directorate falls under the 'Public Administration' sector, which is listed in Annex I of the NIS2 Directive. Such entities are covered regardless of size and will be considered 'essential'.

ISO 27001 (source) — No public evidence

As a public body managing critical national digital services for the construction sector ('Fellestjenester plan og bygg'), certification to a recognised information security standard like ISO 27001 would be relevant to demonstrate due diligence.

Financials

Three-year financials

Financial Resilience Score: 8/10

DiBK is a Norwegian government directorate (forvaltningsorgan) funded primarily through state budget appropriations from the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development. As a public sector entity, it does not have commercial revenue, EBIT, or equity in the traditional sense. Its financial resilience is underpinned by stable and growing state funding, with the 2025 appropriation increasing by approximately 17% year-over-year, driven by government priorities around digitalisation of building processes and the 130,000 new homes target by 2030. The directorate also benefits from a self-financing fee scheme (Sentral godkjenning) which contributed NOK 41.8M in fee income in 2025, with a 102% realisation ratio against budget. The audit relationship with Riksrevisjonen is constructive with no material weaknesses requiring follow-up in 2025. Utilisation of post 01-29 appropriations rose from 92.1% (2023) to 103.4% (2025), indicating strong execution capacity. However, rapid growth (headcount from 89 to 101, operating costs up 31% in one year) has stretched organisational capacity, resulting in postponed deliveries and increased reliance on external consultants. The number of paying firms in the sentral godkjenning scheme has declined from 11,790 in 2023 to 11,117 in 2025, reflecting a difficult year for the Norwegian construction industry. Information security risks tied to cloud supplier chain (Microsoft Azure) and dependency on a single ministry for funding also present moderate risks.

Key strengths: Stable public funding from Norwegian state budget, 17.3% appropriation increase in 2025 reflecting political priority, Self-financing Sentral godkjenning fee scheme generating NOK 41.8M, Clean audit relationship with Riksrevisjonen, Strong execution capacity (103.4% utilisation in 2025), Fee rising to NOK 3,840 from January 2026 indexed to CPI

Risk factors: Dependence on single ministry (Kommunal- og distriktsdepartementet) for funding, Rapid growth stretching organisational capacity, Declining number of paying firms in sentral godkjenning (11,790 → 11,117), Rising reliance on external consultants, Information security and supplier chain vulnerabilities (Azure dependency), Construction industry downturn affecting fee base, Postponed deliveries (fire regulations deferred to Dec 2027)
