Risk levelHigh

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

ES Consulting is a small Latvian education service provider specializing in language training, particularly English language courses including business English, test preparation, and private lessons. The company emphasizes individualized learning plans and fast knowledge acquisition, targeting adult learners and professionals. Their market position is that of an established local provider with a decade of experience and a client base including notable companies. Technically, the website uses Bootstrap, jQuery, and Slick Carousel, with Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for tracking. However, the site lacks HTTPS enforcement and uses an outdated jQuery version, which poses security risks. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating poor privacy compliance. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and security headers. Overall, the website is functional but requires improvements in security and privacy to enhance trust and compliance.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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 operates in the education sector, focusing on language training services for adults and business professionals. Their business model is service-based, offering both group and individual lessons with customized plans. Revenue likely derives from course fees and private lessons. The website shows moderate branding consistency and trust indicators such as client logos and official certification. The target audience includes Latvian residents seeking English language proficiency and business communication skills. Growth indicators include recent expansion and hiring announcements. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed. The company maintains a local market presence with no detected subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. Key vulnerabilities include lack of HTTPS, outdated JavaScript libraries, and absence of security headers. There is no evidence of incident response or security policy documentation. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no visible GDPR compliance measures such as privacy or cookie policies. The website does not expose sensitive data or forms on the main page, reducing attack surface but limiting user interaction. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvement to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforce HTTPS redirects site-wide.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a basic but functional technology stack including Bootstrap 5.1.2 for styling, jQuery 1.7.2 for scripting, and Slick Carousel for client logos. Google Analytics and Facebook SDK are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site lacks modern CMS or platform indicators and appears custom-built or static. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading but could be improved with updated libraries and HTTPS. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no advanced features detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Technical debt is indicated by outdated libraries and missing security best 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.
