Risk levelLow

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

The website www.emsw.fi serves as the Finnish Maritime Single Window platform, a government-operated national information system for maritime traffic notifications, launching in 2026. It replaces the previous Portnet service and targets maritime industry stakeholders and government agencies. The site demonstrates a solid market position as the authoritative national platform for maritime data management in Finland. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on AWS and Azure, with integrated analytics tools like Matomo and Piwik Pro, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and detailed cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly documented. Overall, the site is professional, compliant with GDPR, and trustworthy, with recommendations to enhance security transparency and incident response readiness.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention emsw.fi, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for emsw.fi right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Fintraffic operates the EMSW platform as a critical government service in the transportation sector, focusing on maritime single window compliance and data management. The business model is service-oriented, providing centralized maritime data exchange for regulatory and operational efficiency. The platform's integration with multiple Fintraffic domains and use of advanced analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to service optimization. The absence of direct contact information on the site implies a controlled communication channel, typical for government services. The partnership with Cookie Information for consent management and use of Microsoft Power BI for visual content reflects a robust ecosystem of trusted technology partners.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Use of privacy-respecting analytics platforms like Matomo and Piwik Pro further strengthens privacy compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance trust and readiness for incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly document security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear contact details for the Data Protection Officer to improve GDPR transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering for performance and SEO benefits. Hosting on AWS and Azure provides scalable and reliable infrastructure. The integration of Matomo and Piwik Pro analytics indicates a focus on privacy-conscious data collection. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categorization and user control.

Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for security enhancements.
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.
