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

Neste is a leading Finnish energy company specializing in renewable fuels, heating oils, and transportation services. The website targets private consumers and businesses in Finland, offering a broad range of services including fuel retail, electric vehicle charging, car washes, and customer loyalty programs. The company maintains a strong market position with a comprehensive service station network and a focus on sustainability. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, hosted on Microsoft Azure, and employs advanced cookie consent and optimization tools. However, the SSL certificate is currently invalid or missing, which impacts the security posture. Security headers are well implemented, but improvements in SSL and TLS configurations are recommended. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, user-friendly, and trustworthy, but addressing SSL issues is critical to enhance security and user 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.

Priority findings

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

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

Neste operates in the energy and transportation sectors with a focus on renewable and sustainable solutions. Its business model includes retail fuel sales, heating oil delivery, and electric vehicle charging services, supported by a mobile app and loyalty programs. The company targets Finnish consumers and businesses, leveraging a large physical network of service stations. Partnerships with related domains such as asemat.neste.fi for station location services and the corporate site www.neste.com indicate a well-integrated ecosystem. The presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, along with active social media channels, reflects a mature digital presence. The company appears to prioritize sustainability and customer experience, positioning itself as a market leader in renewable energy solutions in Finland.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with strong HTTP security headers including HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no modern TLS protocols are enabled, which is a critical security gap. OCSP stapling and session resumption are not implemented, reducing SSL performance and security. No vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are detected. The absence of DMARC and DNSSEC reduces email security posture. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found. Privacy compliance is well addressed with cookie consent and privacy policies. Overall, the site is secure in headers and policies but requires urgent SSL and TLS improvements to meet best practices and ensure user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure the SSL certificate to enable HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  3. Implement DMARC and DNSSEC to enhance email and DNS security.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework, indicating a contemporary and scalable architecture. Hosting on Microsoft Azure provides robust infrastructure support. The site integrates third-party tools such as OneTrust for cookie consent and Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing. Performance metrics were not available, but the site appears optimized for mobile with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or proprietary content management approach. Technical risks include the invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS support, which could impact user trust and search rankings. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires SSL improvements and performance monitoring.
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.
