Better Design SIA is a small Latvian company specializing in interior design services including turnkey projects, project planning, and management. The website presents a professional and visually appealing design with clear navigation and relevant content targeting individuals and businesses seeking interior design solutions. The company leverages the Koken CMS platform and uses common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics for site functionality and visitor tracking. However, the website lacks critical compliance documents such as privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy posture. Security measures appear minimal with no detected security headers and use of an outdated JavaScript library, which could expose the site to vulnerabilities. The absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy and registration details. Overall, the site is functional and moderately professional but requires improvements in security and compliance to enhance 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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Better Design SIA operates in the niche interior design sector within Latvia, focusing on personalized and turnkey interior solutions. The business model is service-oriented, targeting local clients who require design and project management expertise. The company maintains an active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, supporting marketing efforts. The website content is consistent with the company's branding and service offerings, though it lacks detailed business information such as founding year or certifications. The absence of privacy and security policies may hinder trust with privacy-conscious customers. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company appears to be a small, independent entity with a focused market approach.
Security posture
The website's security posture is basic and could be improved significantly. HTTPS usage is assumed but not confirmed from the data; no security headers were detected, which are essential for protecting against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.4) is a potential vulnerability vector. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The site lacks incident response contacts or security policies, which are important for handling security events. Privacy compliance is poor due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is at moderate risk and would benefit from implementing modern security best practices and compliance documentation.
Recommendations
Implement HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify it is enforced site-wide.
Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance security posture and transparency.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the Koken CMS platform and uses jQuery 1.12.4, which is outdated and may pose security risks. Google Analytics and DoubleClick scripts are used for analytics and advertising, indicating moderate tracking. The site includes responsive design elements and basic accessibility features but lacks advanced accessibility compliance. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or degradation. No forms or interactive input fields were found, limiting data collection. The site lacks modern security headers and does not display any structured data markup such as JSON-LD, which could improve SEO and semantic understanding. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could be modernized and secured further.
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.
