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

SIA Latvijas Fakti is a Latvian market and sociological research agency established in 1991, providing comprehensive research services including public opinion polling, social, economic, and political studies. The company is co-owned by Finnish firm Taloustutkimus Oy since 1998, indicating international collaboration. The website presents detailed service descriptions, interactive data visualizations, and maintains a professional appearance with consistent branding. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Chart.js, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and cookie consent implemented, but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is supported by a GDPR-aligned privacy policy and cookie banner. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, slightly reducing 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

11 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 targets businesses and organizations in Latvia requiring market and sociological research services. Its business model revolves around providing tailored research solutions from study design to data analysis and reporting. The partnership with Taloustutkimus Oy enhances its market position and credibility. The website content and service offerings indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality and client service. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly via contact forms or internal processes. The company leverages partnerships with technology and hosting providers for website development and maintenance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The use of third-party libraries is modern but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve site security.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add clear, verified company contact emails and phone numbers to improve communication and credibility.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page and a security.txt file to align with best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap 4.1.3, jQuery, Chart.js for data visualization, and Slick Carousel for sliders. The site is mobile responsive and provides interactive content such as charts and tabs. No CMS signatures were detected, suggesting a custom or less common CMS or static site generation. Performance is moderate with reliance on CDN-hosted libraries. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal but present. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit technical security configurations.
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.
