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

HOSTING.LV is a Latvian web hosting service provider offering professional and reliable hosting solutions tailored for small to medium businesses and corporate clients. Their service portfolio includes standard shared hosting, dedicated business hosting, and customized hosting solutions for large-scale projects such as media portals and social networks. The website is well-structured, localized in Latvian, and targets the Latvian market specifically. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, but lacks visible advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. No forms or direct data collection mechanisms are present on the homepage, reducing immediate data exposure risks. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied by canonical URLs, but no explicit security headers or incident response information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, slightly impacting trust. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, and improving WHOIS data accessibility to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

7 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

    • 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

  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 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';…

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

HOSTING.LV operates as a specialized hosting provider focused on the Latvian market, serving small to medium enterprises and corporate clients with scalable hosting solutions. Their business model centers on offering tiered hosting plans from shared to dedicated multi-server environments, catering to diverse project complexities. The company leverages localized language and contact channels to build trust within its target audience. While no explicit revenue or partnership data is available, the presence of Google Tag Manager suggests active marketing and analytics efforts. The lack of privacy and security policy disclosures indicates room for maturity in compliance and governance. The company appears to maintain a lean operation with a focus on core hosting services rather than broad IT solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible forms collecting sensitive data, reducing immediate attack vectors. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options weakens defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, limiting transparency and readiness perception. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting standard security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process to improve transparency and security posture.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is accessible and accurate to strengthen domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update technical infrastructure to maintain performance, security, and compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate with no evident technical debt or errors. However, the absence of security headers and privacy-related pages indicates technical gaps in security and compliance. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, and WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting full infrastructure assessment.
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.
