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

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

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

Ecollect operates in the metal recycling and electronic waste management sector, focusing on sustainable and ecological practices. Their business model revolves around service provision for scrap metal purchasing and waste collection, targeting a regional market in Latvia and Europe. The company leverages partnerships with municipalities and building managers for waste collection campaigns. Their competitive advantage lies in transparent pricing, on-site payments, and comprehensive service offerings from collection to utilization. The website's multilingual support and detailed pricing tables indicate a customer-centric approach. The presence of social media channels and active marketing tools suggests ongoing efforts to expand market reach and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing formal security and incident response documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Add incident response contact information or abuse reporting channels on the website.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS version 6.8.2, utilizing popular front-end libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Fancybox for modals, and Bootstrap Grid for responsive layout. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and uses Google Tag Manager to manage analytics and marketing tags. The site is optimized with Yoast SEO plugin, including structured data in JSON-LD format for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints for fonts and CDNs. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive menus and layouts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and supports a professional online presence with room for optimization in performance and accessibility.
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.
