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

ALSO Finland Oy operates a large B2B marketplace focused on technology products and IT services, serving approximately 120,000 resellers with offerings from over 700 suppliers across 1,450 product categories. The company positions itself as a key regional distributor and service provider in Finland's technology sector, providing hardware, software, cloud, and digital services. The website reflects a mature digital infrastructure with a custom CMS, modern JavaScript libraries, and integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Webtrekk, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, all managed with a GDPR-compliant consent mechanism. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers and explicit incident response information are absent. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but is mitigated by the professional presentation and extensive business content. Overall, the site is well-structured, user-friendly, and targeted at B2B technology resellers and partners.

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

5 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.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company operates in the technology distribution sector with a strong B2B focus, leveraging a broad supplier ecosystem and extensive product portfolio. Its business model centers on providing IT hardware, software, and services to resellers, supported by digital and financial services. The website's detailed navigation and supplier microsites indicate a well-established partnership network. The presence of marketing and sales tools, training portals, and partner programs suggests a strategic emphasis on partner enablement and growth. The company targets medium to large enterprises and IT resellers in Finland, positioning itself as a comprehensive technology provider with a large market footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent platform in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of explicit security or incident response policies on the site indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts is managed via consent, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. The missing WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a commercial B2B platform but could benefit from enhanced header policies and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update all JavaScript libraries and third-party scripts to their latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider publishing WHOIS or domain registration details or use verified domain registrant information to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS (cms5) with a technology stack including jQuery, Modernizr, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and various UI and tracking libraries. It integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Webtrekk, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, all managed through a Usercentrics consent management platform. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses asynchronous script loading for performance. The navigation is complex but well-structured, supporting a large catalog of suppliers and services. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and accessibility improvements. The technical infrastructure supports a mature B2B e-commerce and content platform with room for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
