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

Juuriharja Consulting Group Oy operates the First Whistle Service, a confidential online whistleblowing platform designed to help organizations report and manage misconduct and non-compliance efficiently. The service emphasizes legal compliance, particularly with GDPR and national personal data protection laws, targeting organizations seeking secure and anonymous reporting tools. The company positions itself as a niche provider in the compliance and whistleblowing sector within Finland and potentially broader European markets. Technically, the website is built as a modern single-page application likely using React, with asynchronous JavaScript modules and Google reCAPTCHA integration for bot protection. Hosting appears to leverage AWS infrastructure, indicated by the nameservers. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility but lacks some advanced SEO and security header implementations. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and reCAPTCHA to secure user inputs and protect anonymity. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business identity, enhancing trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, indicating a stable security posture. Overall, the website and service present a trustworthy and professional offering with room for technical and security enhancements to fully align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

  3. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the compliance and whistleblowing service niche, providing a SaaS platform that enables confidential reporting of misconduct. Its competitive advantage lies in GDPR-aligned data handling and anonymity features, appealing to organizations with legal compliance needs. Revenue likely derives from service subscriptions or licensing. The target customers include internal auditors, compliance officers, and organizational management. The company maintains partnerships with domain registrar Zoner Oy and uses AWS infrastructure. Growth indicators include a domain age of 5 years and consistent branding. The business model focuses on SaaS delivery with a strong emphasis on data privacy and legal compliance.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate, with HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA implemented to secure communications and prevent automated abuse. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited in DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency. GDPR compliance is claimed and supported by privacy policies, but cookie consent is missing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the service type but would benefit from enhancements in DNS security, header policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a modern React-based single-page application with asynchronous JavaScript modules and CSS assets. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation and is hosted on infrastructure likely provided by AWS, as indicated by the DNS nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional. The lack of CMS suggests a custom or framework-based build. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to improve overall security posture. The site does not appear to use analytics services or extensive tracking, aligning with privacy-focused design.
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.
