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

The website ivarsbauls.lv represents a small psychotherapy practice operated by Ivars Bauls, an existential therapist based in Latvia. The business offers individual psychotherapy consultations, group therapy, and corporate consultations focused on mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and relationship problems. The site is built on Drupal 8 and employs standard web analytics tools including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The content is professionally presented in Latvian, targeting individuals seeking mental health support. The website is accessible, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS, but lacks privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance posture. From a technical perspective, the site uses a modern CMS and includes responsive design and accessibility features. However, security headers are missing, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, but the website footer indicates the business has been active since 2017, consistent with domain age expectations. Contact information is clearly displayed, enhancing business credibility. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and anonymized IP tracking in analytics, but improvements are needed in security headers and privacy compliance. No signs of malicious content or vulnerabilities were detected in the visible content. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices to improve compliance and user trust.

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

    • 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

  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

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

Ivars Bauls operates a niche psychotherapy practice in Latvia, focusing on existential therapy and mental health support. The business model is service-based, targeting individuals and organizations seeking psychological consultations and group therapy. The website positions the practice as a trusted local provider with clear contact channels and service descriptions. The use of Drupal CMS and standard analytics tools indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Revenue streams likely derive from therapy sessions and corporate consultations. Growth indicators are limited but the consistent online presence since 2017 suggests stability. The absence of privacy policies and security disclosures indicates areas for operational improvement in compliance and risk management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields are present on the main page, minimizing attack surface. The use of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel introduces moderate user tracking, but IP anonymization is enabled. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the site is secure enough for its purpose but requires enhancements in security headers and privacy compliance to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and modules to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information to facilitate security communication and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, leveraging Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing. The HTML is well-structured with appropriate meta tags, canonical links, and responsive design elements. Mobile optimization and accessibility features such as skip links are present, enhancing user experience. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No broken links or errors were detected in the provided content. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy mechanisms, representing technical debt and compliance risks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small business website but can be improved in security and privacy aspects.
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.
