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.

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 website serves as a national government service hub, positioning itself as an essential digital gateway for Finnish citizens and businesses. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service delivery. The portal's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive aggregation of services and official status. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government service. The target customer segments include individuals requiring public services and companies interacting with government entities. The partnership ecosystem includes European Union digital initiatives, as evidenced by links to europa.eu. The site reflects a mature digital government strategy with clear growth in digital service adoption.

Security posture

The security maturity of Suomi.fi is solid, with HTTPS enforced and use of Google site verification. The absence of explicit security headers like CSP or X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not publish a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could enhance incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly provided. Overall, the security culture appears mature but could benefit from formalized security policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response coordination.
  3. Add explicit security policy documentation accessible from the website footer or help sections.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ensure integrity attributes are used to prevent supply chain attacks.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ domain email).

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS techniques for a responsive and accessible user interface. It uses web fonts with preload and crossorigin attributes for performance optimization. Matomo analytics is employed for user tracking with privacy considerations. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes supporting accessibility. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or government-managed platform. Hosting details are not explicit but likely government infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and user-friendly digital service portal.
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.
