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

arhitektu birojs ar.4 is a Latvian architectural office specializing in a broad range of design services including private homes, multi-apartment buildings, public and educational buildings, production facilities, and interior design. The website presents a professional portfolio targeting clients seeking architectural solutions in Latvia. The firm appears to be a small-sized local business with a consistent brand presence and a clear focus on architectural services. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in analytics but lacks important security headers and privacy/cookie policies, indicating room for compliance and security improvements. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, but the website content and contact information support legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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

9 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"

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 Real Estate sector as an architectural service provider with a portfolio showcasing diverse project types. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting clients in Latvia who require architectural design and planning. The firm maintains a professional online presence with a portfolio and contact details, including a physical address in Riga and a phone number. The website's integration with Google Analytics suggests an interest in monitoring visitor behavior for business insights. The lack of privacy and cookie policies may expose the firm to compliance risks under GDPR. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified beyond a web development partner. The company appears to be established but small in scale, focusing on local market needs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and IP anonymization in analytics, which is positive. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected, minimizing attack surface from user input. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Regular updates and security hardening are recommended to improve the overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and modules to mitigate known vulnerabilities and maintain security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3.2, and Font Awesome 4.2.0 for frontend styling and functionality. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. No hosting provider information was identified from the content. The site lacks modern security headers and privacy compliance features. The technical stack is somewhat dated given Drupal 7's age, suggesting potential modernization opportunities to improve security and performance.
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.
