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

Market Rats is a professional SEO agency based in Lithuania, offering comprehensive SEO services including audits, keyword research, technical and content optimization, and international SEO projects. Established in 2010, it is one of the largest specialized SEO agencies in Lithuania with a strong client portfolio and a focus on long-term results. The website is well-structured, content-rich, and professionally designed, targeting businesses seeking SEO optimization for websites and e-commerce platforms. Technically, the site uses Joomla CMS with Bootstrap framework and integrates Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and form protections, though security headers could be improved. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits or privacy protection, which slightly reduces domain trust but the overall business credibility is high based on website content and contact information.

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

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

Market Rats operates in the technology sector, specifically digital marketing and SEO services. It serves a medium-sized business model with a focus on B2B clients including e-commerce and international projects. The company emphasizes tailored SEO strategies, long-term client relationships, and measurable ROI. Its market position is strong in Lithuania with over 300 clients and 500 projects across more than 40 countries. The agency maintains a broad partner network and offers flexible payment models. The website content and client logos reinforce its credibility and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting contact forms. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no incident response or security policy information is published. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or data protection officer contact. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update CMS and third-party plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and document data retention policies and privacy compliance measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 4 framework, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Chosen for UI enhancements. Google services including Analytics, Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA, and Maps API are integrated for analytics, security, and location services. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is stable and appropriate for the business needs, though security headers and advanced accessibility features could be improved.
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.
