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

SIA Ražošanas komercfirma "ARGOS" is a Latvian small-sized business specializing in the manufacturing and wholesale of pharmaceutical packaging products including glass and plastic containers, caps, medicines, disinfectants, and pharmaceutical equipment. The company targets businesses and professionals in the pharmaceutical and packaging sectors, positioning itself as a niche regional supplier in Latvia. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear product catalogs and contact information. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Analytics, providing a moderate level of performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is basic with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and advanced policies. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. However, WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and safe for general audiences, but could improve security and transparency aspects.

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 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

      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 primarily in the manufacturing and retail sectors focused on pharmaceutical packaging and related products. Its business model is B2B wholesale and retail, serving pharmaceutical companies and related industries. The website content and product offerings suggest a stable niche market presence in Latvia. The use of multilingual options (Latvian, Russian, English) indicates an intent to serve a broader regional audience. The company maintains direct contact channels and a product catalog, supporting customer engagement and sales. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found. The business appears to maintain a straightforward operational model with moderate digital marketing and analytics integration.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate tracking but no apparent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is basic and could benefit from enhanced header policies, documented incident response, and regular security audits to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide a dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential risks.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Improve SEO and accessibility by adding structured data (JSON-LD) and ARIA attributes for better user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern front-end stack using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Owl Carousel for interactive sliders. Google Fonts and Font Awesome provide typography and iconography. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for user behavior tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, indicating moderate complexity. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators such as lazy loading or minification visible in the HTML snippet. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the HTML content. The site structure is clear with multilingual support and product categorization, supporting usability and navigation.
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.
