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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      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

The company holds a stable market position as a small regional player with over 25 years of experience in Latvia. Their business model revolves around providing specialized engineering consultancy and project services in water management and environmental protection. They collaborate with local environmental and commerce organizations, indicating a networked partnership ecosystem. The website targets Latvian public and private sector clients, emphasizing professional and compliant service delivery. Growth indicators include multilingual support and active social media presence on Facebook. However, the absence of detailed contact information and compliance documentation online may limit trust and client acquisition.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and standard WordPress security practices but lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS. No security.txt or incident response contacts are published, which reduces transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of common plugins requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file with incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.8.1 with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.6.0 and Google Maps API integration. It uses SiteOrigin Panels for layout and Contact Form 7 for forms. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO optimization is basic, with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags found. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The hosting provider is not identified from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
