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

Lingo S is a small professional translation service provider based in Latvia, operating since 2000. The company offers a broad range of linguistic services including translation, proofreading, editing, transcreation, localisation, transcription, notarisation, apostillisation, and certified translations. Their main working languages cover English, German, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian. The business targets both individuals and organizations requiring high-quality multilingual document translation, including legal, financial, medical, and technical documents. The company holds the EN ISO 17100 certification, indicating adherence to international quality standards in translation services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Contact Form 7. It employs Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection on its quote request form. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with external resources loaded from trusted domains. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements reCAPTCHA, but lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which are gaps in compliance and security transparency. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. However, the website content and contact details appear consistent and professional. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional business with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and establishing incident response protocols to enhance trust 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.

Priority findings

10 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

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

Lingo S operates in the professional translation services market, focusing on multilingual document translation and related linguistic services. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience since 2000 and ISO 17100 certification, which assures quality. The business model is service-based, targeting clients needing certified and specialized translations across legal, financial, medical, and technical sectors. Revenue likely derives from project-based translation fees. The company maintains an active online presence with social media channels on Facebook and LinkedIn, supporting client engagement and marketing. The partnership with web development firms (sitelia.com/net) indicates a professional approach to digital presence. Growth indicators include a mobile app and comprehensive service offerings. The company appears well-positioned in the Latvian and regional translation market with a focus on quality and professionalism.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, limiting transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of popular WordPress plugins requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, enhancements are needed to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate known vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.9.10 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Contact Form 7. It uses Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA for UI and security enhancements. The site loads external resources from trusted domains and includes a mobile app link, indicating digital maturity. Performance is moderate with some potential for optimization. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. However, there is no detected hosting provider information or advanced performance optimization techniques like caching headers or CDN usage explicitly visible. Technical debt appears low but security and privacy compliance gaps exist.
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.
