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

Armadillo.lv is a Latvian marketing and media agency operating under the legal entity SIA “FRESH MEDIA". The company offers a range of creative services including marketing materials design, web development, social media communication, and campaign management, targeting local Latvian clients. The website is professionally designed with a clear portfolio showcasing their work, indicating a small but established presence in the Latvian media sector. Technically, the site uses a PyroCMS backend with a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel, though some libraries like jQuery are outdated, posing potential security risks. The site is accessible over HTTPS and integrates common marketing and analytics tools such as Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers and no forms on the homepage, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security practices and privacy compliance to improve trust and reduce risk.

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 positions itself as a creative agency focused on marketing and media services within Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in a diverse portfolio of campaigns and social media projects, including influencer marketing. The business model is service-based, targeting local businesses and brands needing marketing support. Revenue likely derives from project-based contracts. The presence of social media links and a Google Maps address supports local market engagement. The lack of detailed corporate information such as founding year or parent company suggests a small independent agency. The website content and structure indicate a focus on brand image and client acquisition through showcasing work rather than e-commerce or direct sales. Partnerships with related domains like storyteller.lv hint at collaboration within the creative sector.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communication, but lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) is a notable vulnerability that could expose the site to known exploits. No forms are present on the homepage, reducing risk of injection attacks, but also limiting user data collection. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which reduces readiness for handling security incidents. The integration of tracking pixels and analytics is standard but should be accompanied by clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the site would benefit from updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing privacy and security policies to improve its security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on PyroCMS and uses a combination of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.8.3, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and FancyBox for UI components and interactivity. Google Fonts and Google Maps API are used for typography and location services respectively. Facebook SDK and Pixel are integrated for social media and marketing analytics, alongside Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously, which is good for performance. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version indicates technical debt and potential security risks. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could be modernized and hardened for better 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.
