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

The website mekristaps.com represents a small Latvian web development business operated by Kristaps Melnis, specializing in modern, fast, and quality website design and development services. The site showcases portfolio projects including WordPress sites and creative animations, targeting businesses and individuals seeking professional web solutions. The business is relatively young, founded in 2021, with a consistent domain registration and active social media presence. Technically, the website is well-structured with modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It uses Cloudflare DNS and GoDaddy as registrar, with HTTPS enabled ensuring secure communication. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and Open Graph data. However, it lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices such as secure form submission and HTTPS usage. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. No tracking or advertising scripts are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, mekristaps.com is a professional and trustworthy small business website with good technical implementation but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Mekristaps.com operates as an independent web development service provider focusing on frontend and WordPress development, animation, and design. The business targets Latvian and potentially international clients seeking bespoke web solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in combining technical skills with creative projects such as After Effects animations and 3D work. The business model is service-based, relying on project work showcased in a portfolio. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a domain age consistent with the business founding. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified, indicating a lean operation. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled client communication via web forms.

Security posture

The security posture of mekristaps.com is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and form inputs use secure POST methods with required fields, reducing injection risks. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. The absence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the ability to handle security incidents effectively. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the site follows basic security hygiene but should implement recommended headers and privacy documentation to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Add explicit contact information for security incidents or abuse to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations and cookie consent mechanisms to improve marketing insights and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with clean, modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with assets versioned for cache control. It uses Cloudflare DNS services and GoDaddy as the domain registrar. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter Card data. No CMS is detected on the main site, but WordPress is used in client projects. Performance is likely fast given minimal external dependencies and preloading of critical assets. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts are present, reducing privacy concerns but limiting marketing data. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for modern web security best practices.
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.
