0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Visit Finland operates as the official travel guide and tourism promotion platform for Finland, providing comprehensive information about the country's nature, culture, and travel opportunities. The website serves as a key resource for tourists planning trips to Finland, offering detailed guides, event information, and cultural highlights. It is positioned as an authoritative source backed by Business Finland, the parent organization responsible for promoting Finnish business and tourism internationally. The site targets a broad audience of international travelers and tourism stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance, mobile responsiveness, and good accessibility. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot indicates a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. The site employs HTTPS with strong security headers, reflecting a solid security posture. However, there is a lack of publicly available security policies or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance transparency. The security posture is strong with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the official branding and content quality. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and verifying domain registration details for completeness. Overall, Visit Finland presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform that effectively supports Finland's tourism promotion objectives while maintaining good privacy and security standards.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 73 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

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

Visit Finland is a government-affiliated entity under Business Finland, focusing on tourism promotion. Its market positioning as the official travel guide gives it a competitive advantage in credibility and reach. The business model centers on information dissemination and tourism marketing rather than direct commercial transactions. Revenue streams likely include government funding and partnerships with tourism operators. The target customer segments include international tourists, travel agencies, and cultural enthusiasts. Growth indicators include multilingual content and integration with digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes Business Finland and various tourism stakeholders. Operationally, the website demonstrates strong digital maturity and strategic alignment with national tourism goals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a public security policy and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for transparency and community engagement. Data protection practices align with GDPR requirements, supported by detailed privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness cannot be fully assessed due to lack of public information. Overall, the security culture appears positive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information for data protection officer or security contacts to improve compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack with React and Next.js frameworks, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. Use of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot reflects advanced analytics and privacy management capabilities. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility standards, with responsive design and semantic HTML. Performance indicators suggest fast loading times and efficient resource usage. The absence of a traditional CMS suggests a custom or headless CMS approach, providing flexibility. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Opportunities exist to further modernize by integrating automated security scanning and continuous compliance monitoring.
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.
