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

SIA "Balmet" is a Latvian company with a minimal online presence, currently displaying an under construction page. The website provides basic business contact information including VAT number, physical address in Riga, phone number, and an email address. However, there is no detailed description of the company's services or market positioning. The lack of content and absence of privacy or cookie policies indicate a low level of digital maturity. Technically, the website lacks HTTPS and security headers, which are critical for secure communications and user trust. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting the ability to verify domain registration details and legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a low security posture and minimal compliance with privacy standards.

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

  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"

    • 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';…

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 appears to be a small business operating in Latvia, but the exact industry and business model are not disclosed on the website. The presence of banking details and VAT number suggests legitimate business operations. The lack of marketing, analytics, or social media presence indicates limited digital engagement. Without further information, it is difficult to assess competitive advantages or growth potential. The company may benefit from enhancing its online presence and transparency to improve credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. The absence of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential interception of data. No security headers or incident response contacts are provided, and there is no evidence of compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations. The site does not collect user data via forms, which reduces immediate risk but also limits engagement. The lack of privacy and cookie policies further weakens compliance posture. Overall, the security posture is poor and requires significant improvements to meet basic standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance website content to clearly describe business services and market positioning.
  5. Establish incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and minimal styling, lacking modern web technologies or CMS platforms. No JavaScript libraries or frameworks are detected. The site performance is likely moderate due to simplicity but lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is poor with no meta tags beyond charset and title. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, SEO enhancements, and integration of analytics for business insights.
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.
