  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

KANTAR Latvia holds a strong market position as a local leader in media and market research, affiliated with the global Kantar brand. Their business model focuses on B2B services, delivering actionable insights to enterprises and organizations. The company leverages a comprehensive suite of research tools and methodologies to address client needs across branding, communication, innovation, and media effectiveness. The presence of numerous client logos and a newsletter subscription indicates active engagement with their customer base. The website's multilingual support and external links to the parent company demonstrate an integrated global-local approach. While revenue streams are not explicitly disclosed, the service portfolio suggests diversified income from consulting, research projects, and data analytics. Growth indicators include recent news updates and active social media channels. The partnership ecosystem includes well-known media and corporate clients, reinforcing market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a moderate security gap that could expose the site to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, or cross-site scripting risks. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for enhancement in header implementation and documented security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Maintain up-to-date WordPress core and plugins to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and several plugins such as UberMenu, HappyForms, and Cookie Law Info. The site loads external resources from trusted domains like Google Fonts and jQuery CDN. Performance is moderate with some reliance on external scripts which may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and mobile-specific logos. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation menus. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and enhanced keyboard navigation. The technical stack is modern and widely supported, but security header omissions and plugin dependency pose potential risks. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
