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

LODE SIA is a prominent Latvian manufacturer specializing in ceramic building materials, including construction blocks, bricks, facade tiles, and paving stones. Positioned as a leading ceramic building materials producer in the Baltic region, LODE emphasizes durability, aesthetics, and sustainability by utilizing natural clay. The company operates two production plants in Latvia and targets both professional builders and private customers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and e-commerce capabilities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and exhibits good performance and SEO practices. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, though some security headers and formal security policies are absent. The security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding security headers, publishing incident response policies, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure mechanism. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, LODE presents a professional and credible online presence aligned with its manufacturing business, with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration verification.

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

8 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. 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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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

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

LODE holds a strong market position as a leading ceramic building materials manufacturer in the Baltic states, offering a wide product range exceeding 200 items. Its business model combines manufacturing with direct sales and educational services such as training workshops for professionals. The company targets construction professionals, architects, and private customers seeking sustainable and aesthetic building solutions. The website supports multiple languages, indicating a regional market focus. Social media engagement and product portfolio presentations suggest active marketing efforts. The company registration details and physical addresses reinforce business credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent medium-sized enterprise focused on manufacturing and sales within Latvia and neighboring countries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. The use of third-party tracking scripts like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel introduces moderate user tracking but is managed with consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a commercial website but would benefit from enhanced security controls and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response information on the website to increase transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

DNS and hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of key images.

No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed.
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.
