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

BirgerMind is a Latvian-based technology company specializing in non-invasive brain-computer interface solutions designed to enable communication for fully paralyzed patients, particularly those suffering from ALS and Motor Neurone Disease. The company has established itself as a recognized innovator in AI and machine learning within Latvia and internationally, evidenced by multiple awards and participation in global entrepreneurship competitions. Their product suite includes hardware headwear and software platforms that facilitate messaging, thought-to-speech conversion, home automation control, and virtual sightseeing, targeting patients, healthcare providers, investors, and partners. Technically, the website is built on Joomla! CMS and utilizes legacy jQuery along with modern UI libraries like Flickity and Particles.js. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, and the site is secured with HTTPS, though it lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers. The website is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices but basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and HTTP security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking services, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, BirgerMind presents a credible and professional online presence with strong business credibility and moderate technical maturity. However, improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and updating legacy libraries are recommended to enhance security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

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 · found on this site
  • 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

BirgerMind operates in the niche intersection of healthcare and technology, focusing on assistive communication devices for paralyzed patients. Their competitive advantage lies in non-invasive technology that is quick to learn and compatible with multiple platforms. The company leverages partnerships with EU health organizations, local Latvian agencies, and global entrepreneurship networks to strengthen market position and access funding. Revenue streams likely include hardware sales, software licensing, and partnerships. The target customers are patients with severe motor disabilities, healthcare providers, and investors interested in health tech innovation. Growth indicators include multiple awards, participation in global competitions, and expanding presence in Scandinavian innovation ecosystems. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including health innovation hubs, ALS associations, and technology incubators.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protection is enabled, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness. The lack of analytics and tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for significant improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling practices.
  4. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response contact channel and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla! CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.8, Flickity carousel, and Particles.js for UI effects. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, a reputable hosting provider. The site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate but lacks DNSSEC and HTTP security headers. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization considered good. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site does not use analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal data collection. The use of legacy jQuery is a technical debt and a potential security risk. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
