Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Leadoo are used for tracking and engagement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit published security policies or incident response contacts.

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.

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

Iro operates in the research and consulting sector, targeting organizations seeking data-driven insights. Their market position as a leading Finnish research company is supported by their long domain history and ISO certification. The business model focuses on delivering research services and consulting to improve client decision-making. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels and content relevant to their audience. Partnerships with service providers like Planeetta Internet Oy for domain registration and DNS services indicate a stable operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include active publishing of research news and updates. The company appears to have a focused and specialized market niche with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible security flaws or exposed sensitive information. Cookie consent is actively managed, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for the business type but with room for enhancement to meet higher standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with jQuery and uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Cookie consent is managed by Gravito LightCMP, a third-party consent management platform. The site loads external scripts from trusted domains such as Google Tag Manager and Gravito CDN. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses responsive design principles. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and accessibility improvements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed but DNS and registrar data point to Planeetta Internet Oy. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
