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

Dualnode is a small technology company specializing in reliable IT services including web hosting, virtual servers, Nextcloud private cloud storage, domain registration, and IT project support. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking comprehensive IT infrastructure and support solutions. Their market position is that of a niche local provider with over 10 years of experience, offering an all-in-one package for server provisioning, administration, and monitoring. Technically, the website uses a moderately modern tech stack with jQuery, Swiper.js, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices, but some technical debt is evident with the use of an older jQuery version and lack of advanced security headers. Hosting is provided via Ascio Technologies, a reputable registrar. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and CSRF token usage but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency in security matters. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security practices and privacy compliance measures to improve trust and reduce risk. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen the company’s security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Dualnode operates in the technology sector, focusing on IT infrastructure and support services. Their business model revolves around subscription-based services for virtual servers, hosting, and private cloud storage. The company leverages partnerships with local trusted entities (wrong.lv, havas.lv, born.lv) to enhance credibility. The domain age and WHOIS data support a stable business history. Growth indicators include a diversified service portfolio and a clear target audience of businesses needing reliable IT solutions. The absence of social media presence and limited marketing tools suggests a focus on direct client relationships rather than broad digital marketing. The company’s operations appear localized to Denmark and Latvia, with physical office presence in Riga.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and CSRF tokens are implemented for form security. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies indicates room for improvement. The use of an outdated jQuery version could expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which may hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. Compliance gaps with GDPR are evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The company should prioritize implementing security best practices, enhancing transparency, and adopting formal incident response processes to mitigate risks and improve security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Upgrade jQuery to a supported, secure version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on standard web technologies including jQuery 2.2.3, Swiper.js for UI components, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is hosted via Ascio Technologies, a known registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of advanced security headers indicate technical debt and potential security risks. The site lacks a CMS or modern web framework indications, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve accessibility, and enhance security configurations to reduce operational risks.
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.
