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

Tivi.fi holds a strong position in the Finnish technology media market, leveraging its parent company Alma Media's resources and reputation. Its business model combines advertising and subscription revenue streams, supported by partnerships with related Alma Media domains. The platform's content is tailored to a specialized audience, enhancing engagement and loyalty. The presence of training and educational offerings indicates diversification and value-added services. The website's ecosystem includes multiple external domains for advertising and analytics, managed with user consent to balance monetization and privacy. The company benefits from consistent branding and professional editorial standards, reinforcing its market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity, employing HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and multiple security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. Consent management is integrated to comply with GDPR cookie regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable third-party libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed, representing an area for improvement. The absence of a security.txt file suggests limited formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is robust but could be enhanced by greater transparency and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing practices in privacy documentation.
  5. Consider multi-factor authentication for user accounts to strengthen access security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React.js framework with a well-structured front-end leveraging SVG icons, responsive design, and Google Fonts for typography. It uses Google Tag Manager and AB Tasty for analytics and A/B testing, indicating a data-driven approach to user experience optimization. The site preloads critical scripts and fonts to improve performance and employs DNS prefetch and preconnect hints to optimize resource loading. Hosting details are not explicit but the infrastructure appears stable and performant. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are evident through meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and clear navigation. The technical implementation supports a fast, mobile-optimized, and user-friendly experience with room for further enhancements in security transparency.
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.
