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

ADEPTA is a Latvian small business specializing in accounting outsourcing and financial management services tailored primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises. Their offerings include financial and management accounting, payroll, tax consulting, and support for new companies. The website is professionally designed using Joomla CMS and integrates modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The company maintains an active social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, enhancing its market credibility. Despite the absence of WHOIS data due to query limits, the website's content and contact details strongly support its legitimacy. Technically, the site is moderately optimized with good mobile responsiveness and SEO practices. However, there is room for improvement in security posture, as no explicit security headers were detected, and the cookie consent mechanism is missing. The contact form includes a basic CAPTCHA question, indicating some attention to form security. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy page in Latvian, but lacks visible cookie consent banners. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced HTTP security headers and improved privacy compliance measures. The business credibility is high due to clear contact information, client testimonials, and professional presentation. There are no indications of adult or questionable content, making the site safe for general audiences. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, adding cookie consent mechanisms, enhancing form security, and conducting regular security audits to maintain compliance and protect client data effectively.

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

10 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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';…

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

ADEPTA operates in the finance sector, focusing on accounting and financial management outsourcing for SMEs in Latvia. Their competitive advantage lies in providing comprehensive accounting services in one place, reducing time and costs for business owners. The business model is service-oriented, relying on expert personnel with extensive experience in accounting, finance, customs procedures, and administration. Revenue streams likely come from service fees for accounting, payroll, tax consulting, and financial administration. The target customers are small and medium enterprises seeking professional accounting support. The company demonstrates growth potential through client testimonials and a professional online presence. Partnerships include social media platforms and possibly marketing service providers. The company appears to maintain a lean operational structure with no visible subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. The contact form includes a CAPTCHA question to mitigate spam. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy page, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. The site uses Joomla CMS, which requires regular updates to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Upgrade the contact form CAPTCHA to a more robust anti-bot solution such as Google reCAPTCHA.
  4. Establish and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and ensure Joomla CMS and all plugins are up to date to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It uses LayerSlider for visual effects and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome. Performance is moderate with some modern libraries but could be improved by optimizing scripts and images. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. Accessibility features are basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or advanced accessibility markup detected. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph tags but could be enhanced with structured data (none found). The hosting provider is not identified from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small professional service website but could benefit from modernization and performance tuning.
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.
