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

Oskari.org is a Finnish government-affiliated open source project providing a flexible web mapping application platform. The platform targets developers and government agencies needing spatial data infrastructure solutions, leveraging modern web technologies like React and Next.js. The website demonstrates a mature technical infrastructure with fast performance, good accessibility, and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, though improvements are recommended in DNS security and security headers. Privacy compliance is lacking due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, reflecting its government backing and active community engagement.

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

6 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention oskari.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for oskari.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Oskari operates in the niche market of spatial data and web mapping frameworks, primarily serving government and public sector clients in Finland and beyond. Its open source business model focuses on community collaboration, downloadable software, and documentation. The project benefits from strong institutional support by Valtion tieto- ja viestintatekniikkakeskus Valtori and the National Land Survey of Finland. Market positioning is stable with a focus on interoperability and customization. Growth is supported by community events and webinars. Partnerships with OSGeo and Finnish government entities enhance credibility and ecosystem reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security baseline with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency and readiness perception. Privacy compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies. No tracking or advertising reduces privacy risks. Overall, security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js stack with optimized assets including web fonts and responsive images. Hosting is via Sonera nameservers indicating a Finnish hosting provider. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and preloading of critical resources. Accessibility is good with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. No analytics or tracking scripts found, enhancing privacy. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and well maintained.
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.
