Risk levelHigh

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

SIA FARADS is a Latvian small business specializing in electrical installation, telecommunications infrastructure, and transport services. Their offerings include energy construction such as overhead and cable lines, solar panel installation, transport services with specialized vehicles, and project design for electrical and communication networks. The company targets local businesses and organizations requiring these technical services in Latvia, particularly around Cēsis. The website is built on WordPress with standard plugins and presents a professional but basic digital presence. Technically, the website uses a modern CMS platform (WordPress 6.8.2) with jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and privacy policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Contact forms are present but lack advanced anti-bot protections. Security-wise, the site shows no signs of malware or phishing but could improve by implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response procedures. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits domain trust assessment, but the presence of company registration and contact details supports legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and regulatory adherence. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and improving form security to reduce risk and improve user trust.

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

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

    • 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

      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 FARADS operates in a niche market providing electrical and telecommunication infrastructure services combined with transport solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in offering integrated services including project design and specialized transport equipment. The business model is service-oriented targeting regional clients in Latvia. Revenue streams likely come from contracts in energy construction, telecommunications installation, and transport rentals. The company maintains a clear local presence with registration and banking details publicly available, indicating transparency. Growth potential depends on expanding service offerings and improving digital presence. Partnerships with theme providers like CPOThemes indicate use of third-party digital assets but no evident strategic partnerships. The company appears stable but small, with no subsidiaries or parent companies identified.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is enforced, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The contact form collects personal data but lacks visible anti-bot or CAPTCHA protections, increasing risk of spam or abuse. Incident response and security policies are not found, suggesting limited preparedness for security incidents. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve web security.
  3. Enhance contact form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms.
  4. Publish incident response and security policies to improve organizational readiness.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with common plugins such as Kali Forms and MapPress for Google Maps integration. The tech stack includes jQuery 3.7.1 and Font Awesome 5 for UI icons. The site uses Bootstrap grid for responsive layout but mobile optimization is basic. Performance is moderate with no advanced caching or optimization detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Accessibility features are minimal. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring encrypted communication. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in SEO, accessibility, and security header implementation.
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.
