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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Microsoft operates on a product and service sales model with subscription-based software and cloud services as key revenue streams. The Finnish site reflects a mature market approach targeting both individual consumers and enterprises. Partnerships and subsidiaries such as LinkedIn, GitHub, and Xbox enhance its ecosystem. The company invests heavily in AI and cloud innovation, positioning itself as a technology pioneer. The website's content and structure support cross-selling and upselling of Microsoft products, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing strategy. The presence of affiliate and marketing tracking partners like Adjust and Impact Radius shows integration with global marketing networks.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities. Privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, and data protection officer contact is provided. The use of security frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST is indicated, reflecting organizational commitment to security best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure contact was explicitly found on the Finnish site, but Microsoft maintains a global security response center accessible via other channels. The site uses secure forms and avoids exposing sensitive data. Overall, the security maturity is high with room for enhanced incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts on localized sites.
  2. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate supply chain risks.
  3. Expand transparency on data retention policies within privacy documentation.
  4. Implement additional user education on privacy and security best practices.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and update security headers and SSL configurations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. It uses preconnect and dns-prefetch optimizations for performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Hosting is on Microsoft Azure, ensuring scalability and reliability. Performance is fast with prioritized font loading and lazy loading of images. Technical debt appears minimal with modern frameworks and continuous updates. Opportunities exist to further enhance accessibility and incident response integration.
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.
