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

DHB, AS is a Latvian state joint-stock company specializing in the construction of hydroelectric power stations and complex industrial projects since 1960. The company has a strong market position supported by decades of experience and recognized ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. Their key services include general contracting, construction, reconstruction, and hydro construction, primarily serving state, municipal, and private clients, including ongoing cooperation with AS Latvenergo. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and multilingual support, targeting energy sector stakeholders in Latvia. Technically, the site uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and bxSlider but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. Security posture is basic with no visible security headers or privacy policies, and WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy from a business perspective but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance.

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. 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

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

DHB operates in the energy sector with a focus on hydroelectric infrastructure construction. Its long history and certifications provide competitive advantages and trustworthiness. The business model centers on providing specialized construction services to government and private clients. The absence of contact details and privacy policies on the website suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and compliance. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are linked via the website. The company targets institutional clients requiring high precision and technical expertise in construction projects. Growth indicators are not explicit but implied by ongoing cooperation with major energy companies. The website content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a professional market presence.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic. The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical and resource URLs) but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are published, and no incident response or security contact information is available. No forms or user input fields are present on the main page, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The use of common JavaScript libraries is noted, but no vulnerability scanning results are available. WHOIS data is inaccessible, which reduces domain trust verification. Overall, the site meets minimal security expectations but should enhance transparency and technical security controls to improve compliance and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit of third-party libraries and scripts to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Obtain and publish WHOIS data or ensure domain registration details are accessible to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with jQuery 3.3.1, bxSlider for image sliders, and fancybox for UI elements. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate with some optimization potential, especially for mobile responsiveness and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not visible from the HTML content. The site is multilingual, supporting Latvian, Russian, and English, which broadens its accessibility. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
