Risk levelMedium

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

EkoEL is a medium-sized Latvian manufacturing company specializing in metal constructions and machine-building products. The company serves industrial clients and exports to several European countries, positioning itself as one of the largest metal construction manufacturers in Latvia. Their website reflects a professional business with detailed service offerings and a client-oriented approach. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern libraries and frameworks, offering good mobile optimization and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and policies could be improved. Overall, the website is trustworthy and compliant with GDPR, but lacks explicit security and incident response documentation. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting full domain trust assessment.

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

8 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

    • 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

  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

      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"

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

EkoEL operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on metal structures and machine-building products. Their business model revolves around providing comprehensive production services including welding, laser cutting, CNC operations, and assembly. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-quality metal fabrication and exports to multiple European markets, indicating a stable international presence. The website content and team presentation suggest a well-organized company with clear communication channels. The absence of WHOIS data restricts verification of domain ownership, but the professional online presence supports legitimacy. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a good privacy compliance posture. However, no explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Add and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program with a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to reinforce GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Slick Carousel, Fancybox, and Leaflet.js for mapping. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and employs a cookie consent banner for privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content.
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.
