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

SIA Hidrotehnika is a Latvian company specializing in hydraulic equipment sales, installation, and repair services primarily for trucks, forestry machinery, concrete pumping equipment, and road maintenance machinery. Established in 1999, it holds a leading position in the mobile hydraulic equipment service sector within Latvia. The company operates from a sizable facility in Riga and employs qualified specialists trained in manufacturer-specific courses. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear service descriptions and contact information, targeting B2B customers in the industrial and transportation sectors. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, enhanced by plugins such as Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. The site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a reasonable level of digital maturity. However, some security best practices like HTTP security headers are missing, which could be improved to enhance protection. From a security perspective, the site shows good baseline measures but lacks advanced headers and explicit security policies. The contact form uses reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected in the analysis. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the website is a solid representation of a small Latvian industrial service provider with good content quality and moderate technical implementation. Security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. The risk level is moderate with no critical issues identified.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 a niche industrial sector focusing on hydraulic and heavy machinery servicing, targeting businesses requiring specialized equipment maintenance and sales. Its market position as a leading mobile hydraulic service provider in Latvia suggests competitive advantages in expertise and local presence. The business model is B2B, relying on equipment sales, installation, and repair services. Revenue streams likely include product sales, service contracts, and parts supply. The website indicates a stable operation with a clear partnership ecosystem, though no explicit partners are listed. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and multilingual website support. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining technical and security standards to support business credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA on forms, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could impact readiness. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in proactive security measures and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to patch vulnerabilities and improve security.
  3. Develop and publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant industry certifications or trust badges to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes a mature CMS platform (WordPress) with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It integrates multiple third-party libraries and plugins including Google Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA, and Slick Carousel, indicating a modern but somewhat complex tech stack. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident but no explicit hosting provider identified. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and mobile-specific call buttons. Accessibility is basic, with no advanced ARIA or semantic enhancements detected. SEO is basic, with meta tags and hreflang attributes present but no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Technical debt may exist due to older WordPress version (4.8.25) and WooCommerce (3.6.7), suggesting a need for updates to maintain security and performance.
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.
