Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website maaamet.ee is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA security challenge, preventing access to any meaningful content. Based on the domain and WHOIS data, it is an established domain registered since 2010 under Zone Media OÜ, consistent with an Estonian government entity, likely the Estonian Land Board. The lack of accessible content means no privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are visible, nor any contact information or business descriptions. The technical infrastructure relies heavily on Cloudflare services for security and analytics, indicating a modern but heavily protected setup. The security posture is difficult to fully assess due to the blocked content, but the presence of Cloudflare WAF and CAPTCHA suggests a focus on mitigating automated threats. Overall, the site cannot be fully analyzed in its current state, and the AI score is low due to lack of accessible content and policies.

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

21 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

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 · 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The domain's WHOIS data and domain age support the legitimacy of the site as a government-related entity in Estonia. However, no direct business intelligence such as company name, services, or market positioning can be extracted from the blocked content. The site likely serves public sector functions related to land management or cadastral services. The absence of visible contact or policy information limits insights into operational transparency or customer engagement. The heavy use of Cloudflare security services suggests a priority on protecting the site from attacks, which is common for government websites.

Security posture

The website employs Cloudflare's security challenge platform, including Turnstile CAPTCHA, indicating a proactive approach to mitigating automated threats and abuse. However, no security headers or SSL configuration details are visible from the provided data. The lack of visible privacy or security policies and contact channels for incident response reduces transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are detected, but the inability to access the site content limits a full security assessment. The security score is moderate given the protective measures but incomplete visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Provide a publicly accessible landing page or information page without CAPTCHA to allow basic content and policy visibility.
  2. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Include visible contact information including security incident response contacts to enhance transparency.
  4. Implement security headers and publish security posture details to demonstrate best practices.
  5. Consider a staged security challenge approach to balance protection with accessibility for legitimate users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, utilizing their challenge platform and Turnstile CAPTCHA for bot mitigation. The WHOIS data shows the domain is registered with Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar. The site uses Cloudflare Insights for performance and security analytics. No CMS or other frameworks are detectable due to the blocked content. The HTML is valid but minimal, serving only the challenge page. Performance and SEO cannot be assessed. Mobile optimization and accessibility are unknown due to lack of content. The technical setup prioritizes security over content accessibility.
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.
