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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention aarrelehti.fi, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company positions itself as a specialized media provider in the forestry sector, offering practical content for forest owners. Its subscription model includes print and digital access, supported by partner domains handling subscriptions and customer service. The target market is well-defined, and the company leverages social media for outreach. The business model is stable with recurring revenue streams from subscriptions. Partnerships with maaseuduntulevaisuus.fi and viestimedia.fi enhance service delivery. The website content and structure reflect a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and good content quality.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and standard security headers, indicating a baseline secure environment. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents compliance and transparency gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security posture is adequate but could be improved by publishing comprehensive policies and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  3. Add explicit incident response and security contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  4. Include data protection officer contact details to comply with GDPR requirements.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Visual Composer for layout management. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting a mature digital marketing and compliance approach. The site loads moderate resources and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured links. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and to document security and privacy policies more explicitly to reduce compliance risks.
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.
