Työ- ja elinkeinoministeriö (Ministry of Employment and the Economy) is a Finnish government ministry responsible for employment, economic policy, energy, and regional development. The website serves as an official platform for disseminating governmental information, news, public consultations, and services to Finnish citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders. It maintains a strong market position as an authoritative source of official information in its sector. The website is built on a modern technical infrastructure leveraging Liferay CMS, React, and various JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and ChartJS. It demonstrates good digital maturity with responsive design, accessibility features, and SEO optimization. Hosting appears to be managed by Finnish government IT services, ensuring reliability and security. Security posture is strong with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not prominently published, representing an area for improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for a government entity, with recommendations to enhance security transparency and incident response readiness to further strengthen 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.

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

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 · found on this site
  • 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 ministry operates in the government sector, providing essential public services and information related to employment and economic development in Finland. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public administration and policy implementation. The website targets Finnish citizens, businesses, and governmental partners, offering news, strategic documents, and access to services. The ministry benefits from a stable market position as an official government body with no direct commercial competitors. Partnerships with other government agencies and ministries are evident through linked domains. The website's content and structure support transparency and public engagement, reflecting strategic priorities in employment and economic growth.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are partially present, but explicit Content-Security-Policy and other headers could be improved. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the site aligns with good security practices expected of a government website but could enhance its security communication and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response contact or team email for security issues.
  3. Add or verify presence of comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Liferay CMS as its platform, combined with React and Clay UI components for frontend rendering. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and ChartJS are used for interactivity and data visualization. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, indicating attention to user experience and inclusivity. Performance is moderate, with some deferred image loading and asynchronous script loading. Hosting appears stable and likely government-managed. There is no indication of legacy or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and enhance security headers for improved protection.
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.
