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

Suomi.fi operates as an essential government service portal, providing digital access to public services and information. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive service offering for Finnish citizens and businesses. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on facilitating digital interactions with government entities. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. The target customer segments include Finnish residents and enterprises requiring access to government services. The site shows signs of maturity and integration within the Finnish public sector digital ecosystem, with partnerships evident through linked domains such as the EU's Your Europe portal. Strategic observations include the importance of maintaining high security and privacy standards to uphold public trust and expanding digital service offerings to enhance user engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. Use of asynchronous and deferred script loading improves security and performance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy, though a cookie consent mechanism is missing. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not explicitly visible. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie requirements.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security documentation to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React for UI rendering and Matomo for analytics, indicating a commitment to open-source and privacy-conscious tools. The use of font preloading and deferred script loading suggests attention to performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes present. No CMS was explicitly detected, implying a custom or government-managed platform. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and resource optimization. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some security headers and formal security documentation could pose future risks if not addressed.
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.
