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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

      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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Etuovi.com holds a dominant position in the Finnish real estate market, offering a comprehensive online platform for property listings and related services. Its business model revolves around advertising listings for sale and rent, providing value-added services such as loan calculators and real estate agent comparison tools. The platform benefits from integration with major Finnish banks and a strong partnership ecosystem including rental and business premises sites. Target customers include private individuals and real estate professionals. The site’s affiliation with Alma Media Oyj, a large media company, provides financial stability and brand recognition. Growth indicators include extensive listings and active content marketing through blogs and tips. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital tools and partnerships to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. There is no evidence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating good data protection practices. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and incident response information to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

Etuovi.com utilizes a modern technology stack centered on React for frontend rendering, supported by Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Mapbox is used for mapping services, and content delivery is optimized via Amazon Cloudfront CDN. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is fast due to CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing maintenance of third-party scripts and security headers is recommended to sustain performance and security.
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.
