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

1 finding 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.

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

Hansel operates in the government sector providing essential procurement services to Finnish public organizations. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on centralized procurement frameworks to optimize public spending. The company benefits from government backing, ensuring stability and trust. The website reflects this with consistent branding and clear communication. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital presence aimed at improving user experience and service delivery. No direct competitors or partners are explicitly linked on the site, but integrations with major service providers like Microsoft Azure and Cloudflare suggest a reliable technology ecosystem. The absence of terms of service and incident response details suggests areas for future transparency improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of Cookiebot for consent management and Sentry for error monitoring indicates proactive security and privacy management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the presence of an older jQuery version could pose potential risks if not regularly patched. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance trust by publishing more explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Update legacy JavaScript libraries like jQuery to the latest secure versions.
  5. Enhance security headers by adding Feature-Policy or Permissions-Policy headers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including Alpine.js, HTMX, and Embla Carousel for interactive UI components. Consent management is handled by Cookiebot with blocking mode enabled, ensuring GDPR compliance. Analytics are collected via Piwik Pro, Hotjar, and Microsoft Azure, with data collection methods including cookies, local storage, and IndexedDB. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured cookie consent dialogs. Hosting details are not explicit, but integration with Cloudflare services is present. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization especially around legacy scripts. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a secure, compliant, and user-friendly experience aligned with government service standards.
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.
