Risk levelMedium

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

Avesco SIA is an official representative of multiple heavy machinery and energy equipment brands in Latvia, including Cat®, Sitech, Magni, Sandvik, Finlay, and KX Tree Shears. The company provides a broad range of high-performance machinery and power solutions, along with certified service and professional technical maintenance. Their market position is strong within the Latvian construction and industrial equipment sector, supported by consistent branding and a professional web presence. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern tracking and analytics tools with GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Technically, the site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS with good security headers, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain transparency, although the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. No explicit contact or security policy pages were found, indicating areas for improvement in trust and compliance documentation. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture and privacy compliance but would benefit from enhanced business credibility disclosures and domain registration transparency.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 as an essential entity in the energy and heavy machinery sector in Latvia, targeting construction and industrial clients. Their business model centers on official brand representation and providing both sales and after-sales services. The presence of multiple well-known brands under their portfolio indicates a competitive advantage and a diversified service offering. The website's integration with major advertising and analytics platforms suggests active marketing and customer engagement strategies. However, the lack of visible contact details and security policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance visibility. The domain's WHOIS inconsistency could be a risk factor in partnership or vendor evaluations. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified from the data, indicating a focused regional operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and includes security headers, contributing to a robust security baseline. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented with clear categorization of cookies and third-party tracking, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Adform tracking is transparent and consent-based. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the overall security maturity. The missing WHOIS data also detracts from domain trustworthiness. Recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, adding a security.txt file, and enhancing HTTP security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security communication.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security and privacy inquiries to enhance trust and regulatory compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses modern web technologies including CSS, JavaScript, and integrates with Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. The technical stack supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit documentation of security and privacy practices.
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.
