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

CADENCE SIA is a Latvian IT services company specializing in comprehensive and secure information and communication technology solutions, including IT infrastructure, virtualization, server rental, hosting, IT security, and software services. The company targets small to medium-sized businesses in Latvia, offering tailored IT solutions backed by over 15 years of industry experience and partnerships with leading technology vendors such as Bitdefender, Sophos, and Microsoft. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and provides clear navigation and contact information, reflecting a credible and established business presence. Technically, the website is built on the Odoo CMS platform and incorporates modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. The site is mobile-optimized with good performance and basic SEO practices. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers implementation. The SSL configuration is excellent, ensuring secure communications. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and bot protection via reCAPTCHA. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy policy and cookie usage are disclosed, though the cookie consent mechanism lacks explicit user consent features. The absence of a visible security policy or incident response contacts suggests an area for enhancement to improve transparency and trust. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional IT service provider with a solid market position in Latvia. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits limits domain registration verification, but the website content and business information align well with a legitimate company. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing explicit cookie consent, and publishing security and incident response policies to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

5 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 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. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Business profile

CADENCE SIA operates in the Latvian IT services market, focusing on delivering tailored IT infrastructure and security solutions to small and medium enterprises. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service portfolio, long-standing industry experience, and partnerships with reputable technology vendors. The business model is primarily B2B, offering both managed services and product sales, including an online store (c31.lv) for IT hardware. The company targets businesses requiring reliable IT infrastructure, virtualization, hosting, and security solutions. Growth indicators include diversified service offerings and a visible partner ecosystem. Strategic observations highlight the importance of enhancing digital trust through improved security transparency and privacy compliance to maintain competitive positioning.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No critical security headers were detected, indicating an opportunity to strengthen defenses against common web attacks. The absence of exposed sensitive data and vulnerabilities is positive. However, the lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via privacy policy and cookie disclosures, but explicit consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adopting comprehensive security headers, formalizing incident response information, and enhancing privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Odoo CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and Google services for analytics and security. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is standard for a professional IT services website but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but security header implementation and cookie consent mechanisms should be prioritized to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
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.
