Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

81/100

Risk levelLow

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

Finlandia Cheese is a well-established brand specializing in the production and retail of high-quality Nordic cheeses and butter. The company emphasizes its Finnish heritage and commitment to natural ingredients, positioning itself as a premium dairy product provider. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and SEO optimization, targeting consumers interested in Nordic dairy products. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and integrates Google Tag Manager and CookiePro for analytics and consent management. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented; however, the absence of explicit security headers and privacy policy pages indicates room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, warranting further investigation. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation but should enhance transparency and security compliance to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Finlandia Cheese operates in the retail sector, focusing on dairy products with a strong Nordic brand identity. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing cheese and butter products, leveraging its Finnish roots as a competitive advantage. The website's integration with partners like Instacart suggests a multi-channel distribution strategy. The company benefits from association with Valio, a larger parent company, which likely provides operational and branding support. Market positioning is premium, targeting consumers valuing quality and heritage. The digital presence is professional and content-rich, supporting marketing and customer engagement. However, the absence of direct contact information and incomplete WHOIS data may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of a published privacy policy and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The domain's WHOIS data absence is a significant concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in policy publication, header implementation, and domain legitimacy verification.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact email.
  4. Verify domain registration status and update WHOIS records to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and CookiePro for consent management. The site loads resources from trusted CDNs and uses Adobe Typekit for fonts, enhancing visual appeal. Performance is moderate with responsive design and accessibility features implemented.

Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance privacy compliance documentation to align with best practices.
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.
