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

SIA Erfe is a Latvian-based company specializing in the manufacture, supply, and installation of chimney and flue systems designed for solid and liquid fuel stoves. Positioned as a leading provider in the Baltic region and Poland, the company emphasizes durable ceramic chimney systems with triple-layer insulation and compliance with European CE certifications. Their website reflects a professional business presence targeting general consumers and industry clients seeking reliable chimney solutions. Technically, the website employs common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, and PhotoSwipe for image galleries. The site is served over HTTPS, includes privacy and cookie policies compliant with GDPR, and uses Google Tag Manager for marketing analytics. However, there is room for improvement in mobile optimization, accessibility, and implementation of security headers. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic good practices including HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks advanced security headers and incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and structured data suggest a legitimate and trustworthy business. Overall, the website is well-structured and professional, with moderate technical sophistication and a solid foundation for security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response readiness, and mobile accessibility would enhance the site's security posture and user experience.

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

    • 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

SIA Erfe operates in the energy sector, focusing on chimney system manufacturing and installation. Their business model revolves around product quality, installation services, and warranty support. The company targets residential and commercial customers in Latvia and neighboring Baltic countries, aiming to expand in Poland. Their competitive advantage lies in durable, triple-insulated ceramic chimney systems certified to European standards. The website content and structured data indicate a small-sized enterprise with a clear market position and consistent branding. The presence of privacy and cookie policies reflects awareness of regulatory compliance. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating compliance with fundamental privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could delay mitigation of security incidents. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided content. GDPR compliance is indicated but could be strengthened with explicit data retention policies and a designated data protection officer. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response readiness.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address, on the website.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices and for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy policies to include detailed data retention and processing practices, and consider appointing a Data Protection Officer.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, and PhotoSwipe for interactive elements and tracking. CSS normalization and icon fonts improve visual consistency. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility compliance. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected, suggesting a custom or lightly managed hosting environment. The absence of advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries indicates a straightforward implementation suitable for the business scale. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to enhance security and user experience.
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.
