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.

Priority findings

8 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

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 positions itself as a specialized service provider in galvanic and vacuum metallization coatings, targeting vehicle restoration and industrial clients. Its business model combines service delivery with consulting on export and environmental accessibility. The firm maintains active social media profiles and a physical presence in Babīte, Latvia. The website content and structure support a clear value proposition and customer engagement, though the absence of detailed privacy and security policies suggests room for maturity. The company appears to be growing, having acquired the hroms.lv brand in 2022 and investing in facility upgrades.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, indicating basic security hygiene. However, no advanced security headers are detected, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but the lack of a privacy policy page and vulnerability disclosure reduces compliance maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The security posture is adequate for a small business but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WPBakery Page Builder, Jetpack, Contact Form 7, and Google reCAPTCHA. It uses GTranslate for multilingual support and lazy loading for images, improving performance. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external resources like Google Fonts and Jetpack Stats. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to optimize SEO and accessibility further and to implement stronger security headers.
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.
