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

Terviseinfo.ee is a well-established Estonian health information portal managed by the Tervise Arengu Instituut, a government-affiliated health development institute. The website provides comprehensive health promotion content, news, and educational resources targeted primarily at health promotion specialists and the general public. It covers a broad range of health topics including alcohol, HIV/AIDS, nutrition, mental health, and more, positioning itself as a trusted national resource for health information. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS and utilizes common JavaScript libraries such as MooTools and jQuery, along with Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring secure communication, and includes CSRF tokens in forms to protect against cross-site request forgery. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, and does not have a visible cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy page, which are important for GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates a moderate security posture with secure form handling and HTTPS usage but could improve by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear privacy and cookie policies. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is fully accessible. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's governmental health mission, showing a consistent and legitimate registration since 2011. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public health mission effectively, but should enhance privacy compliance and security headers to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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.

Priority findings

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

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 operates as a public health information portal under the Tervise Arengu Instituut, serving as a key resource for health promotion in Estonia. Its market position is strong within the national health sector, leveraging government affiliation to provide authoritative content. The business model focuses on information dissemination and education rather than commercial revenue. Key services include health news, educational materials, and newsletters. The target audience includes health professionals and the general public interested in health topics. The site shows consistent branding and content quality, with partnerships evident through linked domains such as www.tai.ee. Growth indicators include regular content updates and active newsletter subscriptions. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve privacy compliance and technical modernization to maintain trust and regulatory alignment.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate. It employs HTTPS and CSRF tokens in forms, which are positive security practices. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The site does not display cookie consent mechanisms, potentially impacting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, while basic security hygiene is observed, enhancements in security headers, privacy policies, and incident response transparency are recommended to elevate the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to obtain explicit user consent for tracking and cookies.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS, a widely used open-source content management system, supplemented by JavaScript libraries such as MooTools and jQuery. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The site uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating attention to form security. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. Mobile optimization is basic, with room for improvement in responsive design and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could be modernized and enhanced for better performance, security, and compliance.
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.
