McCann Riga · Other · Latvia

Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

72/100

Risk levelMedium

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

McCann Riga operates as a creative or advertising agency based in Latvia, as indicated by the website title and domain. The website is built on WordPress and employs common plugins such as Yoast SEO and MonsterInsights for SEO and analytics, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is accessible without any WAF or security blocking, and HTTPS is properly enforced, ensuring secure communications. However, the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as missing contact information, limits the overall compliance and trustworthiness of the site. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, indicating some level of GDPR awareness. Security best practices such as security headers are not observed, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, suggesting room for improvement in security posture. Overall, the website presents a professional appearance with consistent branding but lacks some critical compliance and security elements.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

McCann Riga appears to be a medium-sized entity in the advertising or creative sector, targeting clients likely in Latvia or the Baltic region. The business model is presumably service-based, focusing on marketing and creative solutions. The website content is limited in descriptive business information, with no explicit details on market position, revenue streams, or partnerships. The use of WordPress and standard plugins suggests a focus on maintainability and SEO optimization. The lack of detailed business data and contact information may impact lead generation and client trust. No subsidiaries or parent company information is available, indicating an independent operation or limited public disclosure.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure policies, security certifications, or incident response contacts is found, which could hinder effective security incident management. The cookie consent mechanism is a positive indicator of privacy compliance efforts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance web security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. The presence of Lottie animations indicates use of modern web animation techniques. The site loads multiple minified CSS and JS files, suggesting some optimization efforts. Mobile optimization appears good with responsive meta tags and CSS. Accessibility features are basic but present. No hosting provider information is directly available from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The site lacks advanced security headers and detailed metadata for enhanced security and SEO. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a professional WordPress-based marketing site but could benefit from further security and performance 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.
