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

Lieto.fi is the official website of the city of Lieto, Finland, providing comprehensive municipal services information, tourism, cultural events, and administrative resources. The site targets residents and visitors, offering clear navigation to services such as social care, education, urban planning, and leisure activities. The business model is that of a local government entity focused on public service delivery and community engagement. The website reflects a stable market position as a trusted municipal authority with a longstanding domain registration dating back to 1991. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern web technologies including Matomo analytics and Google Tag Manager, ensuring good performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility. Hosting appears to be managed by Elisa Oyj, a Finnish telecom provider, with reliable DNS infrastructure. The site employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates good practices such as encrypted connections and privacy-aware analytics. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and preparedness. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The WHOIS data is fully consistent with the website's municipal identity, showing no privacy protection or obfuscation, which supports trustworthiness. Overall, lieto.fi is a professionally maintained government website with solid technical and privacy compliance foundations. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security documentation and publishing vulnerability disclosure policies to further strengthen its security posture and public trust.

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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. Security headers

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Lieto.fi operates as the digital presence of the city government of Lieto, Finland. Its market positioning is that of a local authority providing essential public services and community information. Competitive advantages include a well-established domain, comprehensive service listings, and integration with local partners such as utility providers and innovation campuses. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and citizen engagement. Revenue streams are typical of municipal funding rather than commercial sales. Target customers are residents, local businesses, and tourists. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital service enhancements. The partnership ecosystem includes Elisa Oyj for domain and hosting services, local utility companies, and cultural institutions. Strategic observations highlight a focus on transparency, accessibility, and community involvement.

Security posture

The security maturity of lieto.fi is moderate to good. The site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL, uses cookie consent for analytics, and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, and there is no public security policy or incident response contact information. No security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The use of Matomo analytics with consent indicates privacy awareness. Overall, the site is secure for typical municipal website use but could improve by adopting additional security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing formal incident response channels. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. No critical vulnerabilities or malware were detected.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for security vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including FontAwesome icons and accessibility dialog scripts. It uses Matomo for analytics and Google Tag Manager for tag management. Hosting is likely provided by Elisa Oyj, indicated by nameservers and reseller information. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and CSS. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features include skip links and ARIA attributes. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The site uses cookie consent scripts to manage user privacy preferences. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for improvement in security headers and incident response readiness.
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.
