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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

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 platform operates as a niche freelancer marketplace focusing on IT and digital marketing sectors in Latvia. Its business model revolves around facilitating connections between freelancers and clients, likely generating revenue through commissions or subscription fees. The site demonstrates a consistent brand and offers a broad range of service categories, indicating a diversified service offering. The presence of multiple service filters and detailed service cards suggests a user-centric approach. The lack of visible direct contact details may indicate a preference for digital communication channels. The use of analytics and monitoring tools suggests a focus on performance and user engagement metrics. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes several security headers, indicating a baseline security maturity. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and Content Security Policy nonces enhances protection against automated abuse and cross-site scripting. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing explicit security documentation and improving accessibility features to enhance overall security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add clear company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve usability for all users and meet regulatory standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for sliders, and various CSS libraries for UI enhancements. It integrates Google Tag Manager and New Relic for analytics and performance monitoring, indicating a focus on operational insights. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain, suggesting self-hosted resources. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. No CMS is explicitly detected, implying a custom or proprietary platform. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for improvements in accessibility and performance optimization.
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.
