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.

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

Ampparit.com operates as a comprehensive news aggregator under Alma Media Oyj, serving a large Finnish audience with a wide range of news categories and sources. The platform benefits from strong brand recognition and integration with multiple reputable Finnish news outlets, enhancing its competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include advertising and mobile app monetization. The presence of detailed categorization and user customization options indicates a focus on user engagement and retention. Partnerships with major Finnish media and use of popular social media channels support its market reach and influence. Growth opportunities exist in expanding privacy compliance and security transparency to meet evolving regulatory demands.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and a valid SSL certificate issued by a trusted authority. Security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and X-XSS-Protection are implemented, mitigating common web vulnerabilities. However, HSTS is present but not fully enabled, which could be improved to prevent protocol downgrade attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, and no incident response contacts are published, indicating gaps in security transparency and incident readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adopting best practices in security policy publication and cookie consent management.

Recommendations

  1. Enable full HSTS header with includeSubDomains and preload directives to strengthen HTTPS enforcement.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries for a responsive and dynamic user experience. It uses Amazon CloudFront as a CDN for fast content delivery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking. The site includes structured data in JSON-LD format for SEO and social media optimization. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. DNS is managed via AWS Route53 with Microsoft Outlook handling email services. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical infrastructure is robust and modern, supporting a high-quality user experience and scalable operations.
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.
