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

The website benefits from its affiliation with Alma Media, leveraging a strong market position and a broad audience base. Its digital-first approach includes subscription services and advertising partnerships with major ad networks. The presence of partner content and blogs indicates a diversified content strategy. The target audience is primarily Finnish-speaking adults interested in politics, economy, and societal issues. The company maintains clear contact channels and customer support, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

Uusi Suomi employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and implements multiple security headers, indicating a mature security posture. The site uses a consent management platform for GDPR compliance and integrates several third-party advertising and tracking services. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page to inform users about security practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and advertising partners for security risks.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and JavaScript frameworks, supported by Google Tag Manager and various marketing and advertising tools. It uses Google Fonts and multiple CDNs for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for further optimization. Hosting appears to be managed by Alma Media or trusted third-party providers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust digital media platform.
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.
