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

The website www.advok.lv represents a professional legal services provider, specifically a sworn advocate named Osvalds Svilāns based in Latvia. The site offers legal consultations and advocate services, targeting clients seeking trustworthy legal assistance. The business appears to be a small, local legal practice with a clear focus on professionalism and experience. The website is multilingual, supporting Latvian, Russian, and English languages, enhancing accessibility for a broader audience. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles, although no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and user experience, but lacks some accessibility features and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by external Google scripts loaded over HTTPS), and employs reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and no explicit privacy or incident response policies are published. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting the ability to verify domain registration details and trustworthiness fully. No contact emails or phone numbers were found in the HTML content, which may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professionally presented and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency regarding privacy, security policies, and contact information. Strengthening security headers and publishing comprehensive privacy and terms documents would improve compliance and trustworthiness.

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

6 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 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: Google Analytics, Google APIs

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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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 business operates as a small legal services provider in Latvia, focusing on sworn advocate services and legal consultations. The market positioning is local and professional, targeting individuals and businesses requiring legal assistance. The business model is service-based, relying on direct client engagement. The website's multilingual support suggests an intent to serve a diverse client base within Latvia and possibly neighboring regions. The use of Google marketing and analytics tools indicates an interest in digital marketing and client acquisition. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement, particularly in client communication and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to secure forms, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security or incident response policies and absence of contact channels for security incidents indicate gaps in security governance and incident readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks comprehensive privacy documentation. Regular security audits and policy publication are recommended to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve site security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance transparency and regulatory compliance.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and user support.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies and Google services for analytics and marketing. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA, which may impact performance but are industry standard. The site uses Google Fonts and jQuery 3.5.1. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via Finsweet Cookie Consent. The site appears mobile optimized with responsive design and uses semantic HTML elements. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and SEO. No CMS other than Webflow was detected. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, providing reliable uptime and delivery. No server-side technologies or backend frameworks were identifiable from the HTML content.
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.
