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

Edgars Bruģis operates a professional photography website based in Latvia, showcasing a portfolio that includes cityscape, portrait, product, and nature photography. The business targets a general audience seeking photography services and positions itself as a local professional photographer. The website is well-structured with clear navigation and consistent branding, providing essential contact information including email and phone number. The technical infrastructure is straightforward, relying on standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, hosted on a Latvian hosting provider as indicated by the nameservers. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS as implied by canonical URLs, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, which presents compliance gaps especially under GDPR. No forms or data collection mechanisms were found, reducing immediate data protection risks but also limiting user interaction. The absence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests limited security maturity. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with basic security best practices and compliance documentation. The website content is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content detected. The business credibility is supported by clear contact details and a professional portfolio presentation. However, the lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as security headers, slightly reduces trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and establishing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance compliance and security posture.

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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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 business operates as a small-scale professional photography service provider in Latvia, focusing on diverse photography genres including cityscapes, portraits, products, and nature. The business model is service-oriented, targeting individuals and businesses seeking photographic content. The website serves as a portfolio and contact point rather than an e-commerce platform. Market positioning is local with no indication of broader international reach. Revenue streams likely derive from commissioned photoshoots and collaborations. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with only a social media presence on Instagram. Growth indicators are not explicit but the professional presentation suggests an established presence in the local market. The lack of advanced digital marketing or analytics tools indicates room for digital maturity improvement.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The website uses HTTPS, which is essential, but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options that help mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields reduce the attack surface but also limit user engagement. There are no published privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated, with no security or abuse contact information provided. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Overall, the security culture appears minimal, suitable for a small personal business but requiring improvements to meet professional standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability management.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics and consent management tools to balance user tracking with privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, without indication of a CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting is provided by a Latvian provider as inferred from nameservers. The site loads a custom gallery script and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and business information. Performance is moderate with some images set to lazy load and others eager, balancing load speed and user experience. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal technical complexity and low tracking footprint. The site could benefit from modern performance optimizations and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
