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

Manpower Latvia is a well-established employment services provider operating since 2006, affiliated with the global ManpowerGroup. The company offers a broad range of workforce solutions including personnel selection, leasing, and temporary staffing, serving both large international and local SMEs. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear contact information and multilingual support (Latvian and English). Technically, the site is built on WordPress with SEO optimization via Yoast and uses HTTPS for secure communications. However, some security best practices such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, but the domain and website content align with legitimate business operations. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid digital presence with room for security and privacy enhancements.

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

9 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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

Manpower Latvia holds a strong market position as a leading staffing and workforce solutions provider in Latvia, leveraging the global reputation and resources of ManpowerGroup. Their business model focuses on connecting employers with qualified candidates across various industries, emphasizing innovation, knowledge sharing, and people-centric values. The company targets both employers and job seekers, providing tailored services to meet diverse workforce needs. The website content and external links confirm active engagement with global and local partners. Recognition by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the world's most ethical companies further strengthens their credibility and market trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted data transmission. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Yoast SEO plugin and jQuery for frontend scripting. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance appears moderate with no obvious errors or broken elements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are standard in mature web deployments. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional business presence but can benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
