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

ARCO REAL ESTATE is a Latvian real estate agency established in 1992, offering brokerage, property valuation, consulting, and marketing services primarily focused on residential and commercial properties within Latvia. The website presents a professional and content-rich platform targeting property buyers, sellers, renters, and investors in the Latvian market. The company maintains an active social media presence and provides clear contact information, enhancing trust and accessibility. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Foundation CSS framework, Leaflet.js for maps, and integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure, though accessibility features are basic. Security practices include HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism, but explicit security headers and incident response policies are not evident from the HTML content. The security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but improvements are recommended in security header implementation and incident response transparency. Privacy compliance is basic with GDPR-related cookie consent and a privacy policy page available. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification, but website content and business information appear consistent with a legitimate real estate business. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with room for enhanced security and compliance measures. Strategic recommendations include strengthening security headers, publishing incident response and terms of service documents, and improving accessibility compliance to further solidify the company's digital maturity 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

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

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

Business profile

ARCO REAL ESTATE operates in the Latvian real estate sector with a medium-sized business model focused on brokerage, valuation, and consulting services. The company leverages a comprehensive portfolio of residential and commercial properties and targets a broad customer base including buyers, sellers, renters, and investors. Established since 1992, the company benefits from longstanding market presence and brand recognition. Its digital presence supports lead generation through property search forms and contact mechanisms. The integration of social media channels and marketing services indicates a multi-channel approach to customer engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The business model relies on service fees from transactions, valuations, and consulting engagements. Growth indicators include active new project promotions and market reports. The company’s partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes social media platforms and possibly local real estate networks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism indicating GDPR awareness. However, no explicit security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Forms include client-side validation but lack visible advanced protections like CAPTCHA or anti-CSRF tokens. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the source. Compliance with GDPR is partially evidenced by the privacy policy and cookie consent, but more comprehensive documentation and security policies would strengthen compliance posture. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a real estate business but could be improved with enhanced headers, incident response readiness, and security awareness documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Expand privacy and security documentation to cover data retention, processing, and user rights in detail.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with jQuery, Foundation CSS framework, Select2 for enhanced select elements, Magnific Popup for modals, and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Google Analytics is integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive and features a structured navigation system with search forms for property listings. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of some scripts and external resources. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available from the HTML content. The site includes client-side form validation and cookie consent mechanisms. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO, accessibility, and security headers to enhance overall site robustness and compliance.
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.
