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

Alter Grupa is a Latvian company specializing in HVAC solutions including air conditioners, heat pumps, centralized cooling systems, heating equipment, and air handling units. The company targets both residential and industrial customers, providing consultation, installation, and servicing. Their website reflects a medium-sized business with a consistent brand presence and partnerships with well-known HVAC brands such as York, Johnson Controls, and Hitachi. Technically, the website uses common web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager, but relies on an outdated jQuery version which could pose security risks. The site is accessible without any WAF or blocking mechanisms and includes privacy and cookie policies with a consent banner, indicating basic GDPR compliance. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and library updates. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though WHOIS data could not be retrieved to verify domain registration details.

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

8 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';…

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

Alter Grupa operates in the HVAC manufacturing and energy sectors, serving both B2B and B2C markets in Latvia and the Baltic region. The company leverages partnerships with major HVAC brands to offer a broad product portfolio and services including equipment sales, consultation, installation, and maintenance. The website content and structure suggest a stable medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality and customer service. The presence of a dedicated section for authorized users and installers indicates a structured business model supporting professional clients. Marketing efforts include standard analytics and retargeting tools, but no aggressive advertising or affiliate programs were detected.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and the use of an outdated jQuery version are notable vulnerabilities that could expose the site to common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance and transparency. The lack of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully assess domain legitimacy and ownership. Overall, the site is functional and secure enough for general business use but would benefit from security hardening and updated libraries.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 1.11.0, Fancybox, Owl Carousel, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate with no explicit hosting provider identified. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks modern frameworks or CMS indicators, suggesting a custom or legacy build. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce risk and improve maintainability.
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.
