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

Mikrobitti holds a strong position in the Finnish technology media sector, leveraging subscription and advertising revenue models. The brand targets tech enthusiasts and consumers seeking detailed product tests and IT news. Its affiliation with Alma Media Finland Oy provides stability and access to a broad media ecosystem. The website's integration with multiple ad networks and tracking services indicates a sophisticated marketing approach, balanced with GDPR-compliant privacy practices. The business model focuses on quality editorial content and digital subscriptions, supported by a consistent brand presence and clear contact channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible sensitive data exposure. Consent management for cookies is implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and lack of a vulnerability disclosure program represent areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The security score is high, reflecting good practices but with room to enhance transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing data protection officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance.

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.
