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

SoftExpert OÜ is an Estonian IT company specializing in the development and maintenance of mission-critical and complex web-based systems. Established since 2000, it has contributed to several major Estonian web services such as CV-Online and various photo and video platforms. The company offers a broad range of IT services including consulting, system creation, and maintenance, targeting Estonian businesses requiring reliable IT partnerships. The website content is primarily in Estonian with an English option, reflecting a local market focus. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as PHP, Perl, and C, hosted on Unix/Linux platforms. The site lacks modern frameworks and shows basic SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, but mobile optimization is poor. The site includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts for user tracking but lacks visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. From a security perspective, no HTTPS confirmation or security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating potential vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, with a domain age appropriate for the business history. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in SSL/TLS implementation and security headers. The overall risk is moderate with recommendations to implement HTTPS, add privacy and cookie policies, improve mobile responsiveness, and enhance security headers. These steps will improve compliance, user trust, and security resilience.

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

    • 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

    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.

Business context

Business profile

SoftExpert OÜ holds a solid position in the Estonian IT services market, focusing on complex web system development and maintenance. Its long-standing involvement with major national web services provides competitive advantage and credibility. The business model centers on service provision to local enterprises, with revenue likely derived from consulting and maintenance contracts. The company targets organizations needing reliable IT partners for mission-critical systems. Growth indicators include a history of sustained service to large clients and a diversified portfolio of web projects. The partnership ecosystem includes major Estonian web platforms, enhancing market presence. Strategic observations suggest a need to modernize technical infrastructure and improve digital compliance to maintain competitiveness.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate with notable gaps. Absence of HTTPS confirmation and security headers exposes the site to potential risks such as data interception and clickjacking. Lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. The use of legacy technologies may introduce vulnerabilities if not properly maintained. However, the absence of forms reduces attack vectors. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for significant improvement in compliance, encryption, and security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.
  5. Establish clear incident response procedures and publish security contact information to improve security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy technology stack including PHP, Perl, C, and JavaScript, running on Unix/Linux servers. It lacks modern frameworks and CMS platforms, indicating potential technical debt. Performance is moderate but could benefit from optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking but lacks consent mechanisms. Hosting is via Zone Media OÜ, a known Estonian registrar and hosting provider. Technical risks include outdated technologies and missing security configurations that could impact business operations if exploited.
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.
