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

SIA equitsia is a German-owned family office based in Riga, Latvia, managing a private investment portfolio since 2006. The company also provides consultancy services focused on investment and relocation. The website presents a professional but basic digital presence, targeting affluent individuals and families interested in financial and relocation services in the Baltic region. The business model centers on personalized family office management and advisory services, positioning itself as a niche player in the Latvian market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common frameworks and libraries such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Elementor. It integrates Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with a moderate performance profile and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin, with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks important security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and clearer trust signals to improve user confidence and regulatory adherence.

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.

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

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

SIA equitsia operates as a small family office with a focus on investment portfolio management and relocation consultancy in Riga, Latvia. Its German ownership and long-standing presence since 2006 suggest stability and niche expertise. The company targets high-net-worth individuals and families seeking tailored financial and relocation services. The website's limited content and absence of detailed business disclosures imply a low public profile, typical for private family offices. The integration of Google Analytics and social media presence on Twitter indicates some digital marketing efforts. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website content. The business model relies on personalized service rather than volume, with revenue likely derived from portfolio management fees and consultancy charges.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies raises compliance concerns under GDPR and related regulations. No dedicated incident response or vulnerability disclosure channels are provided, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security issues. The use of popular WordPress plugins and themes necessitates regular updates and vulnerability management to mitigate risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against attacks.
  3. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file and dedicated contact channels.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.
  5. Enhance transparency and trust by including certifications, client testimonials, or trust badges relevant to the family office and financial services industry.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Elementor for page building. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and integrates Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site loads moderate resources and is mobile-friendly with basic accessibility features. However, no advanced performance optimization techniques or CDN usage are evident. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. The site’s infrastructure appears standard for small business websites but would benefit from modernization and security enhancements to reduce operational risks.
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.
