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

Ocast is a Finnish advertising marketplace platform that facilitates the planning and execution of advertising campaigns primarily targeting advertisers and media buyers in Finland. The website presents a professional design with a modern frontend technology stack including Vue.js and Nuxt.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure. The domain is well-established since 2003, indicating a mature business presence. However, the website lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but no advanced security headers or DNSSEC. Overall, the site is functional and professionally presented but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Ocast operates as a niche marketplace platform in the Finnish advertising technology sector, connecting advertisers with media channels for campaign planning and execution. The business model focuses on facilitating media buying through a digital platform. The company targets Finnish advertisers and media buyers, leveraging a technology-driven approach. The domain age and hosting infrastructure suggest stability, but the lack of visible contact details and compliance documentation may impact customer confidence. No evident partnerships or certifications were found, indicating potential areas for strategic growth and trust-building.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency. Forms and inputs are present but without explicit security measures detailed. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security maturity is basic, with recommendations to enhance security headers, publish policies, and implement DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to improve web security posture.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit of all forms and inputs to ensure secure data handling and prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Vue.js and Nuxt.js, indicating a contemporary approach to web development. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure suggests reliable performance and scalability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or rich snippets. Performance is moderate, with use of CDN for static assets. Technical debt appears low but security and compliance technical implementations require enhancement.
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.
