Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

The website represents a small Latvian metalworking workshop named Metālapstrāde, specializing in maintenance, repair, and manufacturing of metal parts and machinery for agricultural, woodworking, construction, and household equipment. Established in 2004, the business offers a broad range of services including turning, milling, cutting, welding, soldering, and pressing. The site content is primarily informational, targeting local businesses and individual clients requiring metalworking services. The website is built using legacy technology (NetObjects Fusion 8) and includes basic navigation and content structure but lacks modern design and mobile optimization. From a technical perspective, the website uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking but does not implement HTTPS or security headers, which weakens its security posture. No forms or interactive elements are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The absence of privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies indicates low compliance maturity with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Security-wise, the site lacks essential protections like HTTPS and security headers, which exposes it to potential risks. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. However, the website content and contact information appear consistent with a legitimate small business. Overall, the site scores moderately on business credibility but poorly on security and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and enhancing technical infrastructure to improve security and compliance. These steps will increase trustworthiness and protect both the business and its clients.

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. 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"

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

Metālapstrāde operates as a niche local metalworking workshop in Latvia, focusing on manufacturing and repair services for agricultural and industrial equipment. Its competitive advantage lies in its broad service offering and long-standing experience since 2004. The business model is service-oriented, targeting small to medium enterprises and individual clients in the manufacturing and construction sectors. Revenue streams likely come from custom metal part fabrication, repair contracts, and consultation services. The company maintains a simple digital presence without evident partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal online engagement and lack of modern marketing tools. The business ecosystem appears localized with no evident digital transformation initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low security maturity level. Key vulnerabilities include the absence of HTTPS, lack of security headers, and missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager without clear privacy disclosures further complicates compliance. The lack of forms reduces attack vectors but also limits user interaction. Overall, the security culture appears minimal, with significant gaps in protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. Immediate improvements are necessary to mitigate risks and align with basic security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure data transmission.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data practices.
  4. Introduce a secure contact form with input validation and CAPTCHA to enhance user engagement and reduce spam.
  5. Regularly update and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an outdated platform (NetObjects Fusion 8) with static HTML content and minimal interactivity. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking but lacks modern CMS or frameworks. The site shows basic SEO and accessibility features but poor mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, likely due to simple page structure but no advanced optimization. The absence of HTTPS and security headers indicates technical debt and potential risks. Modernization opportunities include migrating to a contemporary CMS, implementing responsive design, and enhancing security configurations to improve overall digital maturity and user experience.
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.
