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

The State Treasury (Valtiokonttori) is a Finnish government agency under the Ministry of Finance responsible for managing government loans, debt, cash management, central government accounting, and compensation payments related to accidents and military injuries. It serves state government entities, citizens, municipalities, and communities, providing a broad range of financial and administrative services. The website reflects its authoritative position with comprehensive service descriptions, official contact information, and a professional presentation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Yoast SEO, ensuring good SEO and accessibility standards. The site uses HTTPS with no detected security issues, includes cookie consent mechanisms, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent banners, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks a publicly available dedicated security policy or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and trust. WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy as a Finnish government entity, consistent with the website's claims. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture, good privacy compliance, and high business credibility, making it a trustworthy source for its target audience.

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 State Treasury holds a critical role in Finland's government financial ecosystem, managing debt, loans, accounting, and compensation services. Its market position is that of an essential government agency with no direct commercial competitors. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on public administration and financial management. Revenue streams are government-funded. The target customers include government bodies, citizens requiring compensation services, and municipalities. The website's partnership ecosystem includes related government portals and service platforms, enhancing service delivery and information dissemination. Growth indicators include regular publication of sustainability reports and financial statistics, reflecting transparency and accountability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of Google Tag Manager is controlled, and third-party scripts are limited to trusted sources. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details publicly available is a gap. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy statements and cookie management. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers and public disclosure of security practices to further strengthen trust and readiness for incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and user privacy rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using modern and widely supported plugins such as Gravity Forms for form management and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for interactive features. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, indicating a controlled approach to script management.

The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience suitable for a government agency.
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.
