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

Liikenne- ja viestintävirasto Traficom operates the Matka.fi service, an official Finnish government platform providing comprehensive door-to-door route planning that integrates multiple transportation modes. The website serves the general public and travelers within Finland, offering detailed route and schedule information to facilitate efficient travel planning. As a government entity, Traficom holds a strong market position as the authoritative source for transportation information in Finland. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React and Apollo GraphQL, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience across devices. The site demonstrates good SEO practices and integrates privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting broad user inclusivity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, indicating a solid security posture appropriate for a government service. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR and cookie consent requirements. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to further strengthen trust and security maturity.

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.

Business context

Business profile

Traficom's Matka.fi service is positioned as a critical government transportation tool in Finland, offering integrated route planning that supports multiple transport modes. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on public benefit rather than commercial revenue. The target audience includes all travelers in Finland seeking reliable transportation information. The website links to numerous trusted partner domains, reflecting a strong ecosystem of transportation services. The enterprise-scale organization benefits from consistent branding and high trust signals, including official domain usage and comprehensive contact information. Growth indicators include continuous service updates and integration with other Finnish transportation platforms.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern frameworks reduces the risk of legacy vulnerabilities. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site complies with GDPR and cookie consent regulations, indicating good data protection practices. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance form security by ensuring CSRF protection and input validation where applicable.
  5. Continue to monitor and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with Apollo GraphQL for data management, indicating a contemporary and scalable architecture. The use of Webpack for bundling and modular JavaScript supports maintainability and performance. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility compliance, enhancing user experience. Analytics are handled via Matomo, a privacy-focused tool, aligning with GDPR requirements. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset loading and caching strategies. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's functional and compliance goals effectively.
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.
