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

Tieteiden talo, operated by Tieteellisten seurain valtuuskunta (TSV), is a Finnish non-profit organization providing rental event spaces in Helsinki to support scientific activities. The website targets event organizers and the scientific community, offering multiple services including venue rental, catering, and streaming. The site is built on Drupal 10 with Bootstrap and uses Matomo for analytics. While content quality and business credibility are good, the technical implementation suffers from slow load times and an invalid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS protection. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS, lack of security headers, and no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking usage. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant security and privacy improvements to meet modern standards.

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

7 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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 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';…

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 organization holds a strong position in the Finnish scientific and event venue market, leveraging its long history since 1899. Its business model focuses on venue rental and related services, supporting the scientific community financially. The website reflects a consistent brand and professional content but lacks advanced digital marketing or e-commerce features. Partnerships appear limited to internal or related domains. Growth potential exists through improved digital presence and enhanced security compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential interception risks. DNS records show proper SPF and DMARC setup, reducing email spoofing risks. However, no security headers or incident response information are published, and no vulnerability disclosure policy is available. The use of Matomo analytics without a cookie consent banner indicates partial GDPR compliance. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact are not evident, suggesting gaps in security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish clear security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance website performance by optimizing resource loading and reducing page size.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern CMS (Drupal 10) with Bootstrap for responsive design and Flexslider for image carousels. It integrates Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. However, the SSL configuration is invalid, and no TLS protocols are enabled, which is a critical technical deficiency. The site has a high resource count and large page size, contributing to slow load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical stack is solid but requires urgent security and performance enhancements.
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.
