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.

Priority findings

3 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention viestintavirasto.fi, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for viestintavirasto.fi right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Traficom holds a strong national position as the authoritative body regulating and overseeing transportation and communication infrastructure in Finland. Its business model is government-funded, focusing on regulatory compliance, public service delivery, and cybersecurity promotion. The agency maintains partnerships with other government bodies and industry stakeholders, evidenced by linked domains and external references. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, accessibility, and public engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. While explicit security headers are not detected in the provided data, the site demonstrates good security hygiene by avoiding exposure of sensitive data and providing a dedicated page for reporting security incidents. The absence of a published security policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in formalizing security communications and vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy page to enhance transparency.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Expand incident response contact channels with dedicated security email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Apollo GraphQL, with a probable Drupal CMS backend. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured content. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. The technical stack supports scalability and maintainability, suitable for a large government agency.
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.
