Risk levelMedium

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

SIA Ernis operates as a Latvian telecommunications provider offering internet and internet+TV services primarily targeting local consumers. The website content is minimal but functional, providing basic navigation and service information in Latvian with a Russian language option. The technical infrastructure relies on older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.1 and includes UI components like Nivo Slider, indicating a legacy technology stack with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is limited with no visible security headers or privacy policies, and the WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, reducing transparency. Overall, the website is safe and appropriate for general audiences but lacks advanced security and privacy compliance features.

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

9 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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';…

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 positions itself as a small regional telecommunications service provider in Latvia, focusing on internet connectivity and bundled internet+TV offerings. The business model is service-oriented with a target audience of Latvian consumers seeking internet and email services. The website lacks detailed business information, certifications, or trust indicators, which limits its perceived credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website content. The absence of contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic, with no detected security headers or HTTPS enforcement details in the provided data. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and enforce HTTPS with proper SSL/TLS configuration and add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  5. Consider adding a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries and plugins such as jQuery 1.11.1, jQuery UI, and Nivo Slider, indicating a dated technology stack. The HTML structure is basic with multiple CSS files for styling but lacks modern frameworks or CMS indicators. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile or accessibility beyond basic levels. SEO optimization is minimal with no meta description or structured data. The hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data. Technical debt is evident and modernization would improve 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.
