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

Arvopaperi holds a solid market position as a specialized financial news outlet in Finland, leveraging the parent company Alma Talent Oy's resources. Its business model centers on subscription-based content delivery and advertising revenue. The target audience includes retail and professional investors seeking market news and analysis. The site integrates with multiple advertising networks and tracking platforms to monetize traffic. Partnership with Alma Media and related domains supports its operational infrastructure. Growth potential lies in expanding subscription services and enhancing digital engagement. The absence of direct contact emails suggests reliance on parent company channels for customer support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of consent management platforms aligns with GDPR requirements, though explicit privacy and security policies are not directly found in the content. Third-party scripts introduce potential risk vectors; continuous monitoring and auditing are recommended. Incident response contact information is not publicly visible, which could be improved. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but should enhance transparency on privacy and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policy pages linked from the homepage.
  2. Provide explicit terms of service and security incident response contact information.
  3. Audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce security risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards.
  5. Implement a formal vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based frontend with asynchronous loading of scripts and fonts for performance optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and integrates multiple marketing and advertising technologies such as AB Tasty and Kilkaya. Hosting appears to be managed by Alma Media's infrastructure with CDN usage for static assets. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints to improve loading times. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for incremental improvements in performance 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.
