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

Oivahymy.fi is an official Finnish government website operated by Ruokavirasto (Finnish Food Authority) that provides consumers with up-to-date information on food industry inspection results. The platform serves as a public service portal aimed at enhancing transparency and consumer awareness regarding food safety inspections conducted by local authorities. The website is well-positioned as a trusted source of food safety data in Finland, supporting public health and regulatory compliance. Technically, the site is built as a modern Angular single-page application, leveraging PrimeNG UI components and custom styling. It is hosted on infrastructure associated with Sonera, a Finnish hosting provider, and employs HTTPS for secure communications. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security contact information. From a security perspective, the website maintains a solid posture with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it could benefit from implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing a formal security policy or incident response information. Privacy compliance is adequate, with clear privacy and cookie policies present, though no explicit consent mechanism for cookies is observed. Overall, Oivahymy.fi represents a credible, secure, and professionally maintained government information portal with a strong trust profile. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding security contact channels, and improving cookie consent mechanisms to further strengthen compliance 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.

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. 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

  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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  4. 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 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';…

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

Oivahymy.fi operates within the government sector, specifically under the Finnish Food Authority, providing a niche public service focused on food safety transparency. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing, authoritative data, and integration with local food inspection authorities. The business model is non-commercial, aimed at public information dissemination rather than revenue generation. The target audience includes Finnish consumers interested in food safety and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include continuous updates of inspection data and expanding open data resources. The partnership ecosystem involves local municipalities and food safety authorities. The website's operations reflect a mature, stable government service with a clear mission and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a moderate gap. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency in security management. Data protection practices appear compliant with GDPR, supported by privacy and cookie policies, though cookie consent mechanisms could be improved. The lack of explicit security contact channels may hinder incident reporting. Overall, the security culture is adequate but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add explicit security and abuse contact emails to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident communication.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR to enhance privacy compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

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.
