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

Circle Solutions is a Latvia-based IT services company founded in 2017, specializing in software development, implementation, and support across various industries. Their offerings include custom software development, mobile and desktop applications, DevOps, UI/UX design, QA/testing, e-commerce solutions, and internet advertising services. The company targets businesses of all sizes, emphasizing quality, deadline adherence, and multilingual capabilities. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with client testimonials reinforcing trust. Technically, the website employs a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and several UI libraries, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization. However, the site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features and does not appear to use a CMS. Hosting and domain registration are stable but lack DNSSEC and visible security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from domain status but not explicitly confirmed in HTML), but no security headers or privacy/cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and general best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published. Contact is only via a web form, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible, which may impact user trust and support responsiveness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security hardening, and transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and improving direct contact availability.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 · 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

Circle Solutions operates as a small-sized IT services provider focusing on software development and support for diverse industries. Their business model centers on delivering custom software solutions, dedicated development teams, and marketing automation tools. The company leverages multilingual expertise to serve a broad client base. Market positioning is that of a reliable, deadline-conscious partner with a comprehensive service portfolio. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based development, ongoing support contracts, and marketing services. The absence of visible partnerships or subsidiaries suggests a focused, independent operation. Growth indicators include a stable domain age and consistent branding. The company maintains a professional online presence but lacks published certifications or compliance attestations, which could be strategic areas for development.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with notable gaps. The domain is registered with clientTransferProhibited status, enhancing domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) are detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The website uses standard JavaScript libraries without detected vulnerable versions, and no exposed sensitive data or credentials were found. Overall, the security maturity is basic, suitable for a small IT service provider but requiring enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Provide direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to enhance user trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic front-end technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and several UI enhancement libraries like Flexslider, BxSlider, Owl Carousel, WOW.js, and Superfish. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks. Performance is moderate, with scripts loaded at the end to improve page load times. SEO optimization is basic, with meta description and viewport tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Accessibility features are minimal. Hosting details are limited to registrar information; no CDN or cloud hosting provider is identified. The site lacks analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
