Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.googleads.lv represents a small Latvian company, SIA Mācību un konsultāciju centrs "Samtija", specializing in Google Ads creation, management, and optimization services primarily for small businesses. The business is operated by a certified Google Ads specialist since 2012 and holds a Google Partner certification, which adds credibility. The site also references SEO services via a partner domain. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Fonts, and Google Analytics, hosted by Serveris.lv. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and has a professional design, though it lacks privacy and cookie policies and explicit contact details. Security posture is basic with no advanced headers or incident response information visible. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust analysis. Overall, the site is legitimate and professional but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

      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

The company targets small and medium enterprises in Latvia needing affordable Google Ads campaigns, with budgets as low as 50 EUR/month. The business model is service-based digital marketing consulting with a focus on Google Ads and SEO. The Google Partner status and client logos provide trust signals. The company operates independently without subsidiaries or parent companies. The partnership with SEOaudits.eu and hosting by Serveris.lv indicate a small but connected ecosystem. The market position is niche and local, with a focus on personalized service. Revenue streams likely come from campaign management fees and consulting. Growth potential depends on expanding client base and service offerings.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and Google Analytics for tracking but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. No forms or inputs are detected that collect sensitive data, reducing immediate risk. The absence of security best practices and transparency lowers the security maturity level. The site would benefit from implementing security headers, privacy notices, and incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including email and phone for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security incident response policy to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update SSL/TLS configuration to ensure strong encryption and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap framework and jQuery libraries, with Google Fonts and Google Analytics integrated. Hosting is provided by Serveris.lv, a Latvian hosting provider. The site is mobile responsive and uses simple lightbox for gallery images. Performance is moderate with no obvious errors or broken elements. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Google site verification present. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. The site lacks CMS identification and advanced technical frameworks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small business site but could be enhanced with modern security and privacy features.
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.
