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

CrefoCert.lv operates as a certification service specializing in creditworthiness and financial stability certification for companies primarily in Latvia and Europe. The website presents a professional business offering with over 840 companies certified, positioning itself as a trusted mark of financial reliability. The services include credit scoring (CrefoScore), certification issuance, and publicity through online seals and social media. The target audience is businesses seeking to enhance their market reputation and competitive positioning through recognized certification. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.6.2 and custom scripts, with basic cookie consent mechanisms implemented. However, there is no evidence of modern CMS or advanced frameworks, and performance and accessibility are moderate to basic. Security posture is average, with no visible HTTPS verification in the provided data, no advanced security headers, and outdated libraries posing potential risks. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie policies present but no explicit privacy policy found. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and business-focused but would benefit from technical and security modernization.

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

7 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

  2. 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

  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';…

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

CrefoCert.lv holds a solid market position in Latvia's financial certification sector, leveraging international recognition through collaboration with Creditreform Risk Management Germany. The business model centers on providing creditworthiness certification and related services, generating revenue from certification fees and associated publicity offerings. The company targets SMEs and larger enterprises seeking to validate financial stability and improve reputation. Growth indicators include the number of certified companies and active social media presence. The partnership ecosystem includes Creditreform and social media platforms like Facebook. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance transparency to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with notable gaps. The use of outdated jQuery 1.6.2 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of visible HTTPS enforcement in the provided data is a critical concern, though it may be present but unconfirmed. No security headers or incident response information is publicly available, limiting transparency. GDPR compliance is partial, with cookie consent but no privacy policy. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, indicating limited readiness for security incident management. The business impact of these gaps includes potential exposure to client data risks and reputational damage. Enhancing security posture through updated libraries, HTTPS enforcement, and published security policies is recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify site-wide HTTPS usage.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy aligned with GDPR requirements to improve privacy compliance.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a legacy technology stack with jQuery 1.6.2 and custom JavaScript modules. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. The site uses multiple CSS stylesheets and includes Facebook SDK for social media integration. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. The site includes a cookie consent banner indicating some privacy awareness. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and lack of modern security practices, presenting risks to business operations and user trust.
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.
