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

Kalts Metāls is a Latvian artisan metalwork business specializing in decorative forged metal products such as gates, doors, balcony railings, and metal furniture. The website is hosted on the Blogger platform and showcases a variety of custom metalwork projects with image galleries and blog posts. The business targets residential and commercial customers seeking bespoke metalwork solutions. Technically, the site uses standard Blogger technologies, jQuery, Google Analytics, and Font Awesome icons. While HTTPS is enforced via client-side script, no advanced security headers are detected, indicating room for improvement in security posture. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no dedicated privacy or terms of service pages found, though a cookie consent banner is present. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy assessment. Overall, the website presents a professional small business presence with moderate technical maturity and basic security and privacy practices.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector focusing on decorative and functional forged metal products. Its business model revolves around custom metalwork services with a portfolio-driven online presence. The market position is that of a niche artisan provider in Latvia, leveraging social media (Facebook) for customer engagement. The product range includes gates, doors, balcony railings, metal furniture, and accessories. The website content is well-structured and relevant, supporting the business's credibility. Partnerships include a related metalwork business (ottomanmetal.com). Growth indicators include regular blog updates and product showcases. Revenue streams likely derive from custom orders and metalwork fabrication services.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, enforced via client-side redirect, but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Forms are present but lack explicit security attributes or CSRF tokens. The absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages indicates compliance gaps. Google Analytics is used for tracking, with a cookie consent banner implemented, suggesting some privacy awareness. Incident response and security policy information are not available. Overall, the security posture is basic and could benefit from enhancements to headers, form security, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Enhance form security by adding CSRF protection and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Regularly update third-party libraries such as jQuery to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider server-side HTTPS enforcement and review hosting security configurations to strengthen overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Blogger platform, utilizing jQuery 1.10.2, Google Analytics, and Font Awesome icons. It employs client-side scripts for UI enhancements and redirects HTTP to HTTPS. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and content relevance. Performance is moderate, typical for Blogger-hosted sites. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present. Hosting is via Google Blogger, which provides stable infrastructure but limited control over server-level security headers. The technical stack is suitable for a small artisan business but could be modernized for better security and performance.
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.
