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

The website ka.lv represents a Latvian communications agency specializing in public relations, digital marketing, and event organization. It positions itself as one of the largest communication agencies in Latvia, targeting local businesses and organizations seeking professional communication services. The site is professionally designed with clear branding and consistent messaging, emphasizing its core services: PR, digital, and events. Contact information including email, phone, physical address, and company registration details are clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Technically, the website is built using the Hugo static site generator, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Modernizr for feature detection. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no evident technical errors or broken elements. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, but the presence of official company registration and contact details suggests a legitimate business. No forms or input fields were found, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. Overall, the website presents a professional and credible business front with room for improvement in security posture and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security headers, privacy policies, and domain verification would strengthen trust and 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

10 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

    • 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

Ka.lv operates as a communications agency in Latvia, focusing on PR, digital marketing, and event management. Its market positioning as one of the largest agencies in the country indicates a strong local presence. The business model is service-oriented, targeting corporate and organizational clients needing communication solutions. Revenue likely derives from service contracts and event management fees. The company maintains active social media channels on Facebook and Instagram, supporting marketing efforts. The website content and contact details reflect a transparent and professional operation, though lack of detailed business history or parent/subsidiary information limits deeper business intelligence. No partnerships or related domains were identified from the site content.

Security posture

The security posture of ka.lv is basic. The website uses HTTPS (assumed from favicon and modern practices, though SSL details not explicitly provided), but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected. There are no visible forms or input fields, reducing risk of injection attacks. However, absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits prevents full domain trust verification. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing security best practices and compliance documentation to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is properly configured and enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS settings.
  4. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Establish incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Hugo static site generator, which provides a lightweight and fast platform. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and Modernizr for feature detection, indicating a modern front-end approach. The site loads CSS and JS assets locally, suggesting self-hosted resources. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts were found, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. However, accessibility features are basic, and no ARIA roles or landmarks were detected. Performance is moderate, with no obvious technical debt or errors. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and implement modern security headers.
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.
