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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: cluster1.stratushosting.co.uk

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory
    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: cluster2.stratushosting.co.uk

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Visa operates as a dominant player in the global finance and payments industry, providing secure and innovative payment technologies. The Finnish site aligns with Visa's global strategy, offering localized content and services. The business model centers on payment processing, security, and enabling digital commerce. Visa's extensive partner ecosystem and regional sites support its market penetration and customer engagement. The site highlights Visa's commitment to inclusivity, community support, and sustainability, reinforcing its brand values and corporate responsibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, which could enhance transparency and trust. The use of modern web technologies and CDN services supports secure and performant delivery. Overall, Visa Finland's site reflects strong security practices consistent with a major financial services provider.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security emails.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Stencil.js for web components, Adobe Experience Manager as CMS, and utilizes Tealium for tag management and analytics. It leverages CDN services for fast content delivery and includes responsive design for excellent mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and skip links are implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical infrastructure is robust, supporting high performance and scalability for an enterprise-level finance website.
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.
