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

Demla ry is a Finnish non-profit association founded in 1954, dedicated to influencing Finnish legal and social policy with a focus on fundamental and human rights and the rule of law. The organization serves as an expert body promoting equality, social justice, legal protection, democracy, and sustainable development through statements, events, and publications such as the Oikeus-lehti. The website is built on Squarespace, featuring a professional design and clear navigation targeting legal professionals, students, and interested individuals. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, which significantly impacts its security posture. While privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliance is indicated, there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the site provides good content quality and business credibility but requires urgent security improvements.

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

Demla ry operates as a small-sized non-profit entity focused on legal and social policy advocacy in Finland. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing history, expert positioning, and active engagement through publications and events. The business model relies on membership and voluntary participation, targeting legal professionals and academics. The organization maintains a modest digital presence with social media integration but lacks advanced marketing or analytics tools. Growth potential may be linked to expanding digital engagement and enhancing trust through improved security and transparency.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled HSTS, exposing users to potential interception risks. Security headers are minimal, and no advanced protections like CSP or incident response contacts are present. The lack of TLS protocol support and session resumption further degrade security and performance. While no immediate vulnerabilities like malware or phishing indicators were detected, the insecure configuration poses a significant risk to user trust and data protection compliance. The organization should prioritize obtaining a valid SSL certificate and implementing comprehensive security headers and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with appropriate max-age and includeSubDomains flags.
  3. Implement modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and enable OCSP stapling and session resumption.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Publish clear security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and trust.

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its built-in CMS and infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Adobe Typekit for fonts. Performance metrics are not available, but the site shows slow loading indicators likely due to missing SSL and unoptimized resources. The site is mobile responsive with basic accessibility features but lacks advanced SEO and analytics integrations. Technical debt is low given the use of a managed platform, but security misconfigurations represent a critical risk. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security protocols and enhancing performance monitoring.
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.
