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

lab9.pro SIA is a Latvia-based small technology company specializing in graphic and interactive design, branding, and digital project development for web, mobile, and social media platforms. Established since 1997, the company has a strong portfolio with over 300 clients worldwide, including notable brands such as ŠKODA, Honda, and Kaspersky. The website reflects a professional service provider with a clear focus on creative and technical digital solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 4.6 and uses common libraries such as jQuery and Swipebox. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. Hosting appears to be supported by Amazon AWS DNS infrastructure. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but lacks advanced accessibility features and modern security headers. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related privacy regulations. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency in security governance. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, updated platform versions, and enhanced security measures to reduce risk and increase trustworthiness.

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

9 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

lab9.pro SIA operates in the technology sector, focusing on design and digital development services. Its market positioning is strong within its niche, supported by a long operational history and a diverse international client base. The business model is service-oriented, targeting companies requiring branding, web, and mobile solutions. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing digital service management. The company maintains partnerships with well-known brands, enhancing its credibility and market reach. Growth indicators include a broad portfolio and active publication of industry-related content. However, the lack of visible privacy and security policies may impact client trust in regulated markets.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer restrictions are in place, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and updated CMS versions introduces potential vulnerabilities. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests non-compliance with GDPR, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Tracking technologies are used without visible consent mechanisms, further impacting privacy compliance. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Upgrade WordPress and all plugins/themes to the latest secure versions.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure process.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress 4.6, which is outdated and may contain known vulnerabilities. The tech stack includes jQuery and Swipebox for UI elements, with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Hosting DNS is managed via Amazon AWS nameservers, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph metadata. Accessibility features are minimal. There is technical debt in the form of outdated CMS and missing security headers, which should be addressed to improve resilience and compliance.
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.
