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

Agency ARNOPATENTS is a specialized intellectual property protection agency based in Latvia, focusing on trademark, design, and patent registration services within Latvia, the European Union, the UK, and globally. The website presents a professional image with clear service offerings targeting businesses and individuals seeking IP protection. The agency positions itself as a niche player in the IP protection market, providing comprehensive support including searches, filings, renewals, and enforcement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices with structured data and meta tags. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting a basic level of privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and a published privacy policy or terms of service. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust analysis. No security.txt or incident response contacts were found, indicating room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact information for security incidents to enhance trust and compliance.

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 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Agency ARNOPATENTS operates in the intellectual property sector, serving clients needing trademark, design, and patent protections primarily in Latvia and the EU. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on legal and administrative IP services. The agency targets SMEs and individual inventors or brand owners. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a focused market niche. The use of multilingual support (English and Latvian) indicates an intent to serve both local and international clients. The absence of detailed company registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence insights. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is actively managed, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. No contact information for security incidents or abuse was found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could improve in advanced security practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Add clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reports.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The inclusion of Google Tag Manager and Analytics indicates a focus on data-driven insights. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance appears moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but some potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format, enhancing search engine visibility. The technical stack is standard for small to medium business websites, balancing functionality and maintainability.
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.
