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

DS Translate is a professional translation bureau based in Riga, Latvia, offering a wide range of language services including written and oral translations, notarized document translations, and document legalization. The company targets businesses and private individuals requiring high-quality translation services in over 20 languages. The website presents a consistent brand image with clear contact information and customer testimonials, positioning DS Translate as a reliable local service provider with over a decade of experience. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.6.3 and integrates Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika for visitor tracking. While the site is functional and moderately optimized for mobile, it lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries that may expose it to vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating gaps in GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and credible but would benefit from technical and compliance improvements.

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. 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

The company operates in the translation services sector, focusing on the Latvian market with a small business size. It leverages a network of over 50 translators and offers both written and oral translation services, including notarization and document legalization. The business model is service-oriented, relying on direct client engagement through online forms and contact channels. The presence of social media accounts and customer testimonials supports its market credibility. The partnership with the domain dstranslate.lv suggests a broader brand presence. The lack of visible certifications or security policies may limit appeal to highly regulated clients. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital presence and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but no explicit security headers detected in the HTML content. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.6.3) is a notable vulnerability that could be exploited. Forms are present but lack visible advanced protections such as CAPTCHA. No privacy or cookie policies are provided, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. Tracking via Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika is implemented without visible consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to update libraries, implement security headers, and improve privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Enforce HTTPS strictly and verify SSL/TLS configuration for strong encryption and trust.
  5. Introduce CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures on forms to prevent spam and abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with classic HTML5 and CSS3, using jQuery 1.6.3 and several jQuery plugins for UI components like menus and fancybox modals. Google Fonts (Open Sans) is used for typography. Analytics are integrated via Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika scripts. The site is moderately optimized for mobile with responsive CSS and JavaScript. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries poses security risks. No modern frameworks or CMS are detected, suggesting a custom or legacy-built site. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations noted. Accessibility features are basic, with some fallback support for older IE versions. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, but no structured sitemap or robots.txt information is available in the provided data.
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.
