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

GeoStar is a Latvian company specializing in the retail and servicing of surveying instruments, optical and laser levels, tachymeters, and scanners. The company targets professionals and businesses in geodesy, construction, and related fields, offering sales, rental, calibration, and training services. Their market position is that of a specialized regional supplier with a focus on quality and professional support. The website reflects a solid business presence with clear contact information and product offerings. Technically, the site uses a variety of JavaScript libraries and a CMS platform (DIRcms), with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  4. 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention geostar.lv, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

GeoStar operates primarily in the retail and service sector for geodetic and construction measurement instruments. Their business model combines e-commerce with service offerings such as instrument calibration and rental. The company appears to be a small-sized entity focused on the Latvian market. They maintain a clear partnership ecosystem with recognized brands like geo-FENNEL and Spectra Precision. The website's content and structure support a professional image, though the absence of detailed WHOIS data limits external validation. Growth indicators include active promotions and a range of product categories. The company’s strategic focus on quality instruments and customer service positions it well within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The lack of a privacy policy page and limited GDPR compliance indicators suggest compliance gaps. While no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, the site would benefit from implementing recommended security best practices to enhance trust and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and enable HSTS.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on DIRcms and leverages a broad set of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, bxSlider, Fancybox, Owl Carousel, Semantic UI, and others for UI and UX enhancements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking and analytics. The site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from optimization and security hardening. The presence of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface and necessitates vigilant maintenance.
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.
