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

International Center for Quality Certification (ICQC) is a Latvian-based notified body providing conformity assessment and product certification services primarily for European Union directives such as machinery, electromagnetic compatibility, and explosive atmospheres. The organization holds national accreditation under LVS EN ISO/IEC 17065:2015 and is recognized as Notified Body number 2549, positioning it as a credible certification authority within its niche. The website targets manufacturers and businesses seeking compliance with EU product safety and certification requirements. Technically, the website employs a traditional tech stack including jQuery and Bootstrap, offering a functional but moderately optimized user experience with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits domain legitimacy verification, though the website content and contact details appear consistent and professional. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid business presence with room to enhance privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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

ICQC operates in the specialized sector of product certification and conformity assessment, serving clients who require compliance with EU directives. Its market position as a notified body provides a competitive advantage and trust signal. The business model revolves around issuing certificates and conducting assessments, likely generating revenue from certification fees. The company maintains a clear contact presence and multilingual support through related domains. The partnership with a local web design firm indicates a small to medium enterprise scale. Growth potential may be linked to expanding certification scopes or geographic reach. The lack of social media presence and limited analytics suggests a focused, low-profile digital marketing approach. Strategic partnerships and maintaining accreditation are critical for sustained market relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue management. The use of older JavaScript libraries may pose potential risks if not regularly updated. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, impacting GDPR adherence. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from implementing standard security headers, formalizing privacy practices, and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement 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. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to facilitate security issue reporting and management.
  4. Upgrade JavaScript libraries and frameworks to latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web technology stack with jQuery 3.2.1, jQuery UI, jQuery Cycle2 for slideshows, and Bootstrap for styling and responsive layout. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for keywords and description, but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Tracking is minimal, limited to a single external tracking pixel (eXTReMe). No CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks detected, indicating a traditional static or server-rendered site architecture. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries and missing modern SEO and security enhancements.
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.
