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

Alma Insights, a division of Alma Media Oyj, provides digital data, content, and marketplace services primarily targeting expert organizations, the financial sector, business management, and B2B sales in Finland. The company leverages advanced technology platforms including React and Gatsby to deliver rich, reliable business, legal, and property data services. Despite a professional and content-rich website, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS significantly weaken the security posture. The site employs multiple tracking and analytics tools with a consent mechanism, indicating moderate privacy compliance. Overall, Alma Insights holds a strong market position in media and data services but should urgently address its SSL and security configurations to enhance trust and compliance.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Alma Insights operates in the media and technology sectors, offering business intelligence, property insights, and legal information services. Its business model revolves around subscription and data services for professional clients. The company benefits from its parent Alma Media Oyj's brand and infrastructure, with multiple partner and service domains supporting its ecosystem. The target audience includes expert organizations and financial institutions, indicating a focus on B2B markets. The website content is well-structured and professionally presented, supporting a strong market presence in Finland.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols or security headers such as HSTS are enabled, and OCSP stapling is absent. While SPF and DMARC DNS records are configured, the DMARC policy is set to 'none', limiting email spoofing protection. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts, which are consented but require careful management to maintain privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate improvements to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  3. Upgrade DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject' after monitoring email flows.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish a public vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information.
  6. Review and optimize third-party tracking scripts to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.
  7. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN. It uses multiple third-party services for email delivery (Amazon SES, Mandrill, SparkPost), analytics (Google Tag Manager, Twitter Analytics, Hotjar), and marketing (Leadoo, Permutive). The site has a large page size and slow load time (~20 seconds), indicating potential performance optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, with responsive design and semantic HTML usage. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of HTTPS and weak SSL configuration present significant technical risks that could impact business operations and user trust.
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.
