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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Valio Eesti operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on dairy products. Its business model revolves around production and distribution of fresh dairy and cheese products, targeting consumers and foodservice clients in Estonia. The company benefits from being part of the larger Valio Group, leveraging brand recognition and international partnerships. The website supports multiple languages and regional versions, indicating a strategic approach to market segmentation and international presence. Marketing efforts include social media engagement and newsletter subscriptions. The company shows signs of growth and investment, such as new facilities and product launches. Partnerships with related brands like Oddlygood and Finlandia Cheese expand its product portfolio and market reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. Use of reCaptcha on forms and absence of exposed sensitive data indicate good security hygiene. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the site content or scripts. The integration of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from formalized security documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies related to analytics and user data.

The technical implementation reflects a mature and well-maintained digital platform with opportunities to further enhance security documentation and data privacy 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.
