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

AREAL.LV is a Latvian real estate company specializing in the sale and brokerage of residential, commercial, and land properties primarily in Riga and its surrounding regions. The company offers comprehensive transaction services including credit solutions, construction, and renovation support, targeting local buyers and investors. The website presents a professional and user-friendly interface with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its market segment. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as jQuery and FontAwesome, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though it lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but missing explicit security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy page in Latvian. Overall, the site demonstrates a legitimate small business presence with moderate trustworthiness but limited transparency in WHOIS data due to query restrictions.

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

11 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 · found on this site
  • 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 focusing on property sales and related services in Latvia. Its business model revolves around brokerage and full transaction facilitation, including legal and financial support. The target audience is local property buyers and investors seeking residential or commercial real estate. The company maintains a small business scale with no visible subsidiaries or parent companies. Competitive advantages include personalized client approach and comprehensive service offerings. The website lacks visible partnerships or advanced marketing tools, indicating a focused but modest digital presence. Growth potential may be enhanced by expanding contact channels and publishing more detailed corporate information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. No forms or input fields are present on the main page, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user data collection, which is positive for privacy but may limit business insights. Overall, the security maturity is basic with room for improvement in transparency, header implementation, and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add contact email addresses for customer support and security reporting.
  4. Introduce structured data (JSON-LD) to enhance SEO and content discoverability.
  5. Regularly update third-party libraries and monitor for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple tech stack centered on jQuery 3.5.1 and FontAwesome 5.8.2 for UI elements, with Google Fonts for typography. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by viewport meta tags and responsive CSS. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data markup. Accessibility features are basic with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data.
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.
