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

Klix by Citadele operates a digital platform focused on providing fast and secure online payment solutions, loan comparison services, and installment payment options primarily targeting consumers in the Baltic region. The platform integrates with major banks and lenders, offering users a seamless experience to manage payments and loans. The website demonstrates a consistent brand presence and clear communication of its services, supported by active social media channels and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries and is hosted on Microsoft Azure, but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which critically impacts its security posture. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant vulnerability that must be addressed promptly to protect user data and maintain trust. Privacy compliance is well-handled with explicit cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. Overall, the business appears credible and well-positioned in the finance and payment services sector, but technical and security improvements are necessary to enhance user trust and operational security.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Klix by Citadele holds a strong market position as a payment and loan comparison platform in Latvia and the Baltics, leveraging its parent company Citadele's banking infrastructure. Its business model focuses on partnering with lenders and merchants to offer consumers flexible payment options including Pay Later services and a user portal for transaction management. The company targets both individual consumers and businesses seeking innovative payment solutions. The presence of multiple service-related domains and integration with Google marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the slow website performance and lack of SSL may hinder user acquisition and retention. The company’s transparent contact information and active social media presence support customer engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security posture due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While SPF and DMARC email security records are properly configured, the lack of HTTPS and security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options represents critical gaps. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented correctly, supporting GDPR compliance. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and implementation of security headers are essential to mitigate risks and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and disable deprecated versions.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Improve website performance by optimizing resource loading and reducing page size to enhance user experience.
  6. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  7. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  8. Maintain and regularly audit privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  9. Enhance accessibility features and continue SEO optimization to improve reach and usability.
  10. Monitor and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using OctoberCMS, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap, and Slick Slider for UI components. It is hosted on Microsoft Azure with DNS managed by Azure DNS services. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for marketing and analytics tracking. Despite modern technology usage, the site suffers from slow load times (over 13 seconds) and a large page size (~900 KB with 140 resources), indicating potential optimization opportunities. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols are critical technical deficiencies. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices, including proper meta tags and multilingual support. The cookie consent implementation is robust with multi-step consent banners. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security and performance improvements.
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.
