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

Business context

Business profile

Yleisradio Oy is a large, essential media organization serving the Finnish population with diverse content offerings. Their business model is public service broadcasting funded by public means, focusing on news, entertainment, and cultural programming. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent branding and extensive social media engagement. Their partnerships include streaming and user account services under related domains. The website's content quality and user experience are excellent, supporting their leadership in the Finnish media market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and privacy-compliant cookie consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a published security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure are areas for improvement. Incident response contact details are not explicitly provided, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for a public media entity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics for privacy compliance.
  5. Continue to monitor and update security headers and SSL configurations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with modular JavaScript, likely React-based frontend, and AWS infrastructure. Performance optimizations include font preloading, DNS prefetching, and module preloading. Accessibility features and SEO best practices are well implemented, including structured data and meta tags. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a seamless user experience. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
