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

Elaks is a Latvian manufacturing company specializing in high-quality metal doors with over 30 years of market presence and more than 100,000 doors produced. The company targets residential and institutional customers in Latvia, offering custom orders, free measurement, delivery, installation, and warranty services. Their website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information and client references, supporting a strong market position. Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including Yii framework, jQuery, Bootstrap 4, and various UI plugins. Performance and SEO are moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The domain is well-established, registered since 1999, consistent with the company's claimed experience. Security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and improving input validation. Privacy compliance is good with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though no explicit security or incident response policies are published. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the website and business demonstrate a solid and trustworthy presence with moderate technical maturity and good privacy practices. Strategic improvements in security and transparency would further strengthen their posture.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Elaks operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on metal door production with custom solutions. Their competitive advantages include long-standing market experience, a large volume of produced doors, and a comprehensive service offering from measurement to installation. The business model is direct manufacturing and sales, targeting Latvian private and institutional clients. The company maintains partnerships and showcases client logos, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include a detailed product catalog and active client engagement through contact forms and newsletters. The absence of social media presence suggests a focus on direct customer relationships and local market penetration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. Positive aspects include HTTPS usage (assumed), clientTransferProhibited domain status, and cookie consent implementation. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and incomplete input validation represent vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No incident response or security policy pages are publicly available, indicating potential gaps in security governance. The absence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms reduces transparency. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet higher standards and regulatory compliance fully.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Correct and enhance client-side and server-side input validation, especially for phone number formats.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Yii PHP framework with frontend technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap 4, Slick Carousel, and FancyBox. The tech stack is modern but could benefit from updates to newer versions and improved accessibility features. Performance is moderate with some optimization potential. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be enhanced with structured data and Open Graph tags. Hosting details are not explicit beyond the registrar information. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Technical debt appears low but security and SEO improvements are recommended.
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.
