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

Netpool Finland Oy operates as an advertising sales entity primarily for Foreca.fi and the Foreca App, Finland's leading commercial weather service with a significant weekly visitor base. The company targets advertisers seeking a brand-safe and content-neutral environment to reach Finnish adults, particularly those over 45 years old and women. The business model is focused on CPM-based advertising sales and programmatic buying, leveraging the Equativ Ad Server platform. The website is professionally designed, hosted on AWS Cloudfront, and built using the Webnode CMS, integrating multiple tracking and marketing technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, impacting trust and legitimacy assessments. Overall, the site presents a functional and professional front for its advertising business but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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

7 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 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 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

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

Netpool Finland Oy holds a strong market position as the advertising sales partner for Foreca.fi, a dominant player in the Finnish weather service market. The company leverages digital advertising technologies and programmatic platforms to monetize Foreca's large user base. The business targets advertisers interested in reaching a mature Finnish audience with a high female user percentage. The partnership with Foreca.fi is central to its operations, and the company maintains professional contact channels and branding consistency. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and absence of privacy and cookie policies may hinder trust with privacy-conscious clients and partners. Growth opportunities exist in expanding transparency and compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses reCAPTCHA on forms, and integrates standard tracking technologies. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR requirements. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical security controls to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and tracking technologies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webnode CMS platform and hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery. It uses modern tracking and marketing technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Equativ Ad Server for advertising management. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. Performance is moderate with no major loading issues detected. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements in security and privacy implementations.
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.
