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

WhyCo Oy is a Finnish company specializing in sustainability consulting and responsible business practices, aiming to facilitate impactful change towards a regenerative future. The company targets sustainability change-makers and organizations seeking to accelerate and enhance their responsible operations. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with clear messaging focused on sustainable development and corporate responsibility. The business operates primarily in Finland and appears to be a small-sized entity founded in 2017. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, integrating Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is hosted with Gandi SAS, uses HTTPS, and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners, but lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not publish incident response or security policy information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a legitimate and stable domain registration. Overall, WhyCo Oy's website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with good privacy compliance and a solid foundation for further security enhancements. The risk level is low, but improvements in security policy transparency and technical security headers are recommended.

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.

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

Business profile

WhyCo Oy positions itself as a niche sustainability consultancy in Finland, focusing on enabling transformative and regenerative business practices. The company leverages its expertise to help clients navigate complex regulatory environments and achieve visible sustainability outcomes. The business model is service-oriented, relying on consulting engagements and possibly training or workshops. The website content and structured data indicate a clear focus on Finnish markets and sustainability sectors, with no evidence of large-scale international operations or subsidiaries. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as privacy policies and SSL encryption. The absence of phone contact suggests a preference for digital communication channels. Strategically, WhyCo Oy could benefit from expanding its digital footprint and enhancing transparency around security and incident response to build further trust with prospective clients. Partnerships or certifications in sustainability frameworks could also strengthen market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent, which supports trustworthiness. The site uses common third-party scripts such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager, which are standard but require ongoing monitoring for privacy compliance. The lack of a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure channel may limit the ability to receive and respond to security reports effectively. Enhancing these areas would improve the overall security maturity and readiness of the organization.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible via the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Improve accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, which provides a flexible and responsive design. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and marketing, indicating a moderate level of technical sophistication. Hosting is provided by Gandi SAS, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance appears moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques detected. The site includes standard SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Accessibility is basic, with potential for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
