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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

The Finnish Ministry of the Interior holds a critical position within the government sector, overseeing a broad range of internal security functions. Its competitive advantage lies in its authoritative status and comprehensive service offerings, including police affairs, emergency services, and immigration management. The ministry operates under a government-funded model, focusing on public service rather than commercial revenue streams. Its target audience includes Finnish residents, policymakers, and international partners. The website's multilingual support and extensive content indicate a strategic approach to accessibility and transparency. Partnerships with other government agencies and EU bodies are evident through linked domains, reinforcing its collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators are aligned with governmental policy developments and security needs rather than market-driven metrics.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforcement and a cookie consent mechanism supporting privacy compliance. The absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers suggests room for improvement in DNS and HTTP security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were identified in the content or scripts. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap for transparency. Overall, the site aligns well with governmental security expectations but could enhance its posture by adopting additional security standards and publishing explicit security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party libraries to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing detailed data retention and privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks including React and Clay UI components, which facilitate a modular and maintainable front-end architecture. The site uses a combination of server-side rendering and client-side scripts for dynamic content delivery. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation are implemented, supporting compliance with accessibility standards. SEO is supported through comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting environment appears stable and government-managed, though explicit hosting details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for a high-traffic government portal.
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.
