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

VR.fi is the official digital platform for VR-Yhtymä Oyj, Finland's primary railway operator. The website offers comprehensive services for domestic train travel including ticket sales, travel information, and customer support. It targets Finnish residents and visitors seeking sustainable and comfortable rail travel options. The company holds a strong market position as the national rail service provider with a large operational scale and a focus on environmental responsibility. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including React and Next.js, integrated with Contentful CMS for content management. It demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. The site employs Google Tag Manager and Convertexperiments for analytics and A/B testing, with appropriate cookie consent mechanisms in place. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, ensuring a secure browsing experience. However, it lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response page and does not publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, VR.fi presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform aligned with its business goals. Strategic improvements in security transparency and incident response communication are recommended to further strengthen its security posture and compliance.

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

5 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

VR-Yhtymä Oyj operates as Finland's leading railway company, providing passenger rail services and related travel products. The business model centers on ticket sales (single, serial, season), corporate travel services, and customer engagement through digital channels. The company benefits from a strong national brand, extensive rail network, and a growing focus on sustainable travel. Partnerships with government agencies and integration with national transport infrastructure support its market dominance. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and comprehensive service offerings, indicating a well-established and large enterprise with a clear growth and customer engagement strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, standard security headers, and secure handling of user inputs in forms. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure limits transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party analytics and A/B testing tools is managed with consent. Enhancing security communication and formalizing incident response procedures publicly would improve overall security maturity and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy to align with GDPR best practices.

The website leverages a modern React and Next.js framework combined with Contentful CMS, enabling dynamic content delivery and efficient content management. The use of WebP images and responsive design ensures fast loading and excellent mobile experience. Google Tag Manager and Convertexperiments are integrated for analytics and experimentation, controlled via cookie consent. The site shows no signs of technical debt or outdated technologies.

Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation of security and incident response mechanisms.
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.
