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

SIA Šurfs operates the website www.latgalesgeologs.lv, providing specialized geological, geotechnical, and hydrogeological services primarily in Latvia. Established in 2008, the company offers water supply drilling, mineral deposit documentation, environmental impact assessments, and related consulting services. The website also promotes tourism services related to the Latgale region. The business targets local clients requiring geological expertise and related services, positioning itself as a small but experienced regional player. The website content is professional, well-structured, and consistent with the company's stated expertise and market focus. Technically, the website leverages a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Snowplow Analytics, Mapbox for geolocation, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. It is built on a CMS platform likely provided by multiscreensite.com, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, though some improvements in security headers and explicit security policies could enhance the site's posture. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs reCAPTCHA on contact forms to mitigate spam. Cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy indicate awareness of GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security or incident response policies are published, and WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional front for a small Latvian geological services company. The absence of WHOIS data and some missing security headers suggest areas for improvement. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing detailed security and incident response policies, and ensuring regular updates of third-party libraries to maintain security 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.

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 energy and environmental consulting sector, focusing on geological and hydrogeological services. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting property owners, construction firms, and environmental agencies in Latvia. The company leverages local expertise and certifications to maintain competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, drilling services, and documentation preparation. The website indicates partnerships with local media and marketing firms, suggesting a modest but active presence in the regional market. Growth indicators include ongoing public consultations and active client engagement via contact forms and Zoom meetings. The company maintains a small size with no subsidiaries or parent companies disclosed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms. Cookie consent and privacy policy indicate compliance with data protection regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining updated software components.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery 3.7.0 and various analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Snowplow. It uses Mapbox for geolocation services and Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention. The site loads CSS and JS asynchronously to optimize performance and includes responsive design elements for mobile compatibility. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and resource optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The lack of visible security headers and WHOIS data limits full technical risk assessment.
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.
