Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. is a leading European research and innovation organization focused on sustainable growth and applied science. The company offers a wide range of R&D services across multiple industries including energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and ICT. Their website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, with comprehensive service descriptions, structured data, and a strong brand presence. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS with modern analytics and cookie consent tools, optimized for accessibility and mobile use. Security posture is good with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, though lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall business credibility and content quality remain strong.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

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

VTT holds a strong market position as a multidisciplinary research partner for companies and society, focusing on innovation and sustainability. Their business model revolves around providing expert R&D services, piloting infrastructure, and technology development. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking advanced technological solutions and sustainable growth. The website content and structured data reflect a large, established entity with over 2,300 employees and a broad service portfolio. The absence of WHOIS data suggests a need for further verification but does not detract significantly from the evident professionalism and market presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies limit the security maturity level. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced security header implementation and transparent incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  4. Verify and publish domain WHOIS information or clarify domain registration status to enhance legitimacy.
  5. Continue maintaining cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms aligned with GDPR.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick carousel, and Hyphenopoly for hyphenation. Analytics are managed via Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of images. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
