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

13 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for vrgroup.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

VR Group's business model centers on providing integrated rail and logistics services under Finnish state ownership, leveraging a long-standing heritage and extensive infrastructure. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service portfolio, environmental sustainability initiatives, and strategic focus on core rail operations. Revenue streams likely include passenger ticket sales, freight logistics contracts, and maintenance services. The target customers range from individual travelers to corporate clients requiring logistics solutions. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including subsidiaries like VR Sverige and dedicated reporting domains. Growth indicators include service expansions such as the Pendolino Plus train and increased event-related train services. The website's clear corporate messaging and professional content support strong business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, integration of consent management tools like Cookiebot, and use of Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could enhance transparency and trust. GDPR compliance is well addressed through detailed privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from additional hardening and public security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced via dependencies.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies with a focus on performance and accessibility. It uses custom CSS and JavaScript bundles, optimized fonts, and SVG icons for crisp visuals. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot indicates mature analytics and privacy management practices. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. No common CMS platforms were detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the site loads quickly and reliably. Opportunities exist to improve technical security configurations and to document technical policies publicly.
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.
