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

Saaristolautat.fi is a specialized informational website providing ferry routes and schedules for the Finnish archipelago, including the Turku archipelago and Åland Islands. The site targets travelers and residents needing up-to-date ferry information for over 40,000 islands serviced by approximately 50 ferries and 200 docks. The business model is primarily informational, serving as a public utility platform rather than a commercial enterprise. The website is relatively small in scale, founded in 2017, and operates with a niche focus on regional transportation. Technically, the website employs a modern web stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript with jQuery, Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, and integrates Google Maps API for route visualization. Hosting appears to be provided by Domainhotelli, a Finnish hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance given its European audience. No contact information or incident response details are provided, limiting transparency and trust. The WHOIS data shows the domain is registered to a private person rather than an organization, which is somewhat inconsistent with the public service nature of the site but not necessarily suspicious. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site content is fully accessible. Overall, the website is functional and provides valuable regional transportation information but would benefit from improved security practices, privacy compliance, and clearer business contact details 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

10 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. 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"

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

Saaristolautat.fi occupies a niche market segment focused on ferry transportation information in the Finnish archipelago region. Its competitive advantage lies in aggregating comprehensive route and schedule data for a complex network of ferries servicing numerous islands. The business model is informational and likely supported by public or regional transport authorities or community initiatives. The target customers are local residents, tourists, and travelers requiring ferry schedules. Growth potential depends on expanding digital services or partnerships with transport operators. The site currently lacks visible partnerships or commercial integrations. The absence of detailed business information and contact channels limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS presumably enabled (though SSL configuration details are not provided). However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR requirements for transparency and user consent. No incident response or security contact information is available, which is a gap in security readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in compliance and best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider registering the domain under an organizational entity to improve business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and standard technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Maps API for interactive route mapping. Hosting is managed by Domainhotelli, a Finnish hosting provider, which suggests local infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies on Google APIs and CDN-hosted libraries. No CMS or backend platform was detected, indicating a likely static or custom-built frontend. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. No broken elements or errors were observed in the HTML content.
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.
