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

Advice Benefits is a Latvian legal services provider offering a broad range of quality legal consulting services to both individuals and corporate clients. The company positions itself as a local expert with capabilities to serve international clients in Latvia. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and modern web technologies, featuring clear contact information and social media presence. Technical infrastructure includes caching and performance optimization plugins, with Google Tag Manager integrated for analytics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the site is accessible and trustworthy, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification.

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

7 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

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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';…

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 company operates in the legal consulting sector, targeting local and international clients in Latvia. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on legal advice and consultations. The website content and structured data indicate a small-sized entity named SIA ZZ Legal. The firm maintains social media profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn, enhancing its market visibility. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests room for maturity in compliance and governance. The company appears to maintain a professional online presence with good branding consistency and relevant content.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site uses third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager, which require careful management to avoid privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance incident response capabilities by providing clear contact channels and security policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with plugins such as W3 Total Cache for performance and Brizy for page building. It uses external resources from CDNs like Cloudflare and fonts from Bunny Fonts. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, benefiting from caching but could be further optimized. Accessibility features are basic but present. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
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.
