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

SIA HETA is a Latvian company established in 2002 specializing in the distribution and servicing of forestry and agricultural machinery. The company represents well-known brands such as VALTRA, FARMI FOREST, PALMS, JENZ, PALAX, and PALMSE TRAILER, targeting professional customers in forestry, agriculture, and municipal sectors. Their business model focuses on equipment sales, after-sales service, and spare parts supply, positioning them as a trusted local partner with a solid market presence in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on Drupal CMS with standard web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is accessible, uses HTTPS, and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, some technologies like jQuery are outdated, and security headers are not explicitly present, indicating room for improvement in technical security and performance optimization. From a security perspective, the website shows a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and IP anonymization in analytics. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, and no WHOIS data is available due to query limits, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is adequate with clear cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy for its business domain, but improvements in security headers, updated libraries, and transparency in security policies would enhance its security posture and compliance. The lack of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy assessment but the business information and content quality support a positive trust evaluation.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

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

Business profile

SIA HETA operates in a niche market of forestry and agricultural machinery distribution in Latvia, leveraging partnerships with multiple international brands to offer a diverse product portfolio. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 2002 and comprehensive service offerings including sales, servicing, and spare parts. The company targets professional customers such as farmers, forestry companies, and municipal services. Revenue streams likely come from equipment sales and after-sales services. The partnership ecosystem includes brands like VALTRA, FARMI FOREST, PALMS, and JENZ, enhancing their market credibility. The website supports their business operations by providing product catalogs, contact information, and brand representation, although digital marketing and e-commerce capabilities appear limited.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics configuration. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, use of an outdated jQuery version, and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, but the security posture could be improved by updating dependencies, implementing security headers, and publishing clear security policies and incident response contacts. The lack of WHOIS transparency slightly impacts trust but does not indicate malicious intent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure ongoing security and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.12.4, Google Analytics, Colorbox, and JCarousel. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent mechanism. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The HTML and CSS are valid and SEO basics are covered with meta tags and structured navigation. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version presents a technical risk. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but modernization and security hardening are recommended to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
