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

AQ Law is a Latvian legal services provider offering professional and creative legal assistance. The website presents a clear business focus on legal consultation and representation, targeting clients who value precise and coordinated legal actions. The company operates from two physical offices in Riga and Cēsis, with clear contact details and a professional brand presence. The website is built on Joomla! CMS and uses common web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap, with Google Analytics integrated for traffic analysis. The site is accessible without any WAF or blocking mechanisms, indicating good availability. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No WHOIS data could be retrieved due to query limits, but the website content and contact information suggest a legitimate business. There are no signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended. Overall, the website is professionally designed with good content quality and user experience, though it could benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security best practices. The risk level is moderate with no critical issues detected, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies and security headers slightly lowers the compliance and security posture.

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

    • 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

  2. 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

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

AQ Law positions itself as a small, professional legal services firm in Latvia, focusing on delivering qualified and creative legal solutions. The business model is service-oriented, targeting individuals and businesses requiring legal expertise. The website content emphasizes a harmonious and client-aligned approach, suggesting a competitive advantage in personalized legal services. The firm maintains physical offices in two Latvian cities, indicating a local market focus. The use of Google Analytics shows an interest in monitoring web traffic and potentially client engagement. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The lack of social media presence may limit broader digital marketing reach. Overall, the company appears stable with a clear niche in the Latvian legal market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected on the homepage, minimizing immediate risks of injection attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics requires careful management to avoid privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to improve protection against web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla! CMS, utilizing jQuery and Bootstrap libraries for frontend functionality. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site uses asynchronous loading for analytics scripts, which is good for performance. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for charset and viewport, but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. The favicon and logo are properly linked. Mobile navigation is implemented with show/hide menu toggles, though mobile optimization is basic. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details are evident. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present (e.g., image captions). SEO optimization is basic, with no evident schema markup or rich metadata.
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.
