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

We Speak Gay is a Finnish community platform operated by Medina Helsinki Communications Oy, focused on supporting LGBTQ+ inclusivity and rainbow-friendly communication in Finland. The website serves as a hub for businesses, organizations, and events that promote equality and safety for the rainbow community. It targets both residents and visitors, aiming to foster a safer and more inclusive society. The platform offers membership and partnership opportunities to entities committed to these values. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Typekit fonts and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and includes standard SEO and accessibility features, though accessibility could be improved. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with HSTS enabled, uses a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, and no security.txt or incident response contacts are provided. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but the website content and contact information support legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a niche non-profit community platform. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation and WHOIS transparency would enhance trust 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. 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 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: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

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

  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 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

The platform occupies a niche market position as a community and network facilitator for LGBTQ+ friendly businesses and organizations in Finland. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused mission to promote rainbow inclusivity and safe communication. The business model is membership and partnership based, fostering collaboration among companies and events that share common values against homophobia and transphobia. The target customers are businesses, organizations, and individuals interested in supporting or benefiting from an inclusive community. Growth indicators include active social media presence and curated member listings. The partnership ecosystem includes various cultural and event organizations. The company operates as a small-sized entity with a clear focus on social impact rather than commercial revenue.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages represents compliance gaps, especially under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. Lack of incident response contact information and security.txt file reduces readiness for vulnerability reporting and incident handling. The security culture appears positive but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency. Overall, the risk level is low but improvements are recommended to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user and member obligations and liabilities.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, leveraging its built-in CMS capabilities and infrastructure. It uses modern web fonts from Typekit and supports multilingual content via Weglot. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses compressed assets for performance optimization. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for organization and website. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site with rich media content. Technical debt appears low, but adding more accessibility and privacy features would improve overall quality and compliance.
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.
