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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Blood Service holds a dominant market position as Finland's nationwide blood service provider, leveraging its affiliation with the Finnish Red Cross to maintain trust and credibility. Its business model focuses on non-profit healthcare services, supported by public engagement and research funding. The organization benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including the Finnish Red Cross and related healthcare entities. The website's content and services indicate a strategic emphasis on donor recruitment, education, and scientific advancement. Growth indicators include active research projects and digital tools like the Donor App. The presence of multiple language options and accessible online services reflects a customer-centric approach. The Blood Service's operations are aligned with national healthcare priorities, ensuring sustainability and relevance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a robust security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no detected vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data. The use of Cookiebot ensures proper consent management and compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could enhance trust and facilitate responsible reporting. Overall, the site adheres to best practices in web security and privacy but could improve by formalizing security communication and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Develop and publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security measures and incident response protocols.
  2. Establish explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet or exceed WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.

Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management.

Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for further modernization and performance tuning.
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.
