Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers.

Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

STARK Suomi operates as a significant retail entity in the Finnish construction sector, supplying building materials and related products primarily to professional builders and contractors. The website leverages modern web technologies including Angular and integrates with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Genesys Messenger for customer engagement and analytics. A comprehensive cookie consent mechanism is implemented, reflecting good privacy compliance practices. However, explicit privacy and security policies beyond cookie management are not directly present on the site. The security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers properly configured, and no critical vulnerabilities detected. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for its market segment, though improvements in direct contact information and policy transparency could enhance trust and compliance.

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

3 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 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';…

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

The company is positioned as a key player in the Finnish construction retail market, targeting professional users with a business model focused on wholesale and retail distribution of construction materials. The website content and technology stack indicate a well-maintained digital infrastructure supporting marketing and analytics efforts. The use of multiple third-party marketing and tracking services suggests an active approach to customer engagement and retargeting. The absence of visible terms of service or detailed company contact information online may limit transparency but does not detract from the overall business credibility. The company appears to be part of the larger STARK Group, indicating a strong corporate backing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and Content-Security-Policy, indicating adherence to security best practices. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, allowing users to control tracking categories, which aligns with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details, which are recommended for enhanced security maturity and transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with formalized policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated privacy policy page on the main domain with comprehensive GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal terms.
  3. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and structured data to boost search engine visibility and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 18.2.13, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end framework. Integration with Google Tag Manager and analytics services supports data-driven marketing and performance monitoring. The presence of Genesys Messenger suggests active customer support capabilities. The site uses a third-party cookie consent management solution from CookieInformation, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Performance appears moderate with standard optimizations, and mobile responsiveness is good. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly found. The technical stack is well-suited for a large retail business but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
