Medium risk. 8 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and Security headers.

Security score

65/100

Risk levelMedium

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

JCDecaux Latvia operates as a regional branch of the global outdoor advertising leader JCDecaux, providing advertising solutions primarily in Latvia. The website reflects a professional presence with a focus on outdoor media services, targeting advertisers and marketing agencies. The technical infrastructure is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and third-party consent management tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible advanced security headers and explicit privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve transparency and security compliance.

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

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

    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

JCDecaux Latvia holds an important position in the Latvian outdoor advertising market as part of the global JCDecaux group. Its business model revolves around providing advertising space on street furniture, transport, and other outdoor media. The company targets businesses and agencies seeking outdoor advertising solutions. The website content and branding are consistent with the parent company, though detailed business information such as founding year or subsidiaries is not disclosed. The partnership ecosystem is implied through global JCDecaux affiliation but no explicit partner domains are linked. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not publicly detailed on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner implemented via Didomi SDK. However, no advanced security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published. There is no evidence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policy reduces transparency and compliance confidence. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced with improved headers, policies, and contact disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages linked prominently on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and consent management tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS with jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Tag Manager and Didomi Consent SDK for analytics and privacy compliance. The use of CDN-hosted assets such as Cloudfront for images indicates a distributed hosting approach. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta tags. Technical debt is minimal given the use of modern frameworks, but improvements in security headers and structured data could enhance robustness.
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.
