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.

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.

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.

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

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.
