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

Oy Suomen Tietotoimisto operates the STT Info platform, a Finnish press release distribution service targeting media professionals and companies. The website facilitates the dissemination of over 17,000 press releases annually, positioning itself as a key player in the Finnish media communication sector. The business model centers on subscription and one-time purchase of press releases, serving a professional audience seeking timely and relevant news content. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and provides comprehensive contact and privacy information, reinforcing trust and professionalism. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Google Fonts, and Cloudflare for content delivery and security. It integrates Google Analytics and social media tracking tools while implementing a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features, with a moderate performance profile. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and manages session cookies securely. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not published, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected, and WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the domain registration with the business identity. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts to sustain security posture.

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 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';…

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

STT Info holds a strong market position as a Finnish press release distribution service with a significant volume of annual releases. Its competitive advantage lies in its established brand, comprehensive media reach, and integration with partner services like Viestintäpalvelut. The business model leverages subscription and transactional revenue streams targeting media outlets and corporate communications departments. Growth indicators include active content publishing and social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes major platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Cloudflare, supporting both marketing and technical infrastructure. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining compliance with evolving privacy regulations and enhancing transparency in security practices to sustain market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure session management. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, reflecting good privacy practices. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response plan limits transparency and preparedness visibility. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The integration of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with user consent, mitigating privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but would benefit from formal documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance resilience and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards.
  4. Consider adding a clear terms of service document to clarify user agreements.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with integration of Google Fonts and Cloudflare CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery and performance. Use of Google Analytics and social media widgets supports marketing and user engagement analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes cookie consent management via a specialized service. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize load times further. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved to enhance usability for all users. No common CMS was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but require ongoing monitoring of third-party dependencies.
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.
