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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Merito Partners positions itself as a growing investment firm with a focus on sustainable and meritocratic investment principles. Their competitive advantage lies in their fundraising track record, sector expertise, and alignment with ESG principles. The company serves both entrepreneurs seeking capital and investors looking for curated growth opportunities. Their membership in industry associations and supervision by Latvijas Banka enhance credibility. The business model relies on fund administration and investment management, with a clear emphasis on responsible investing. The website content and structure support their market positioning and target audience effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and domain transfer lock status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site uses secure forms with validation, but lacks explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to meet higher compliance standards and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy or incident response page with contact details for reporting issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with jQuery and FontAwesome for UI components. It uses Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site loads CSS and fonts efficiently with preload hints, and uses modern video elements for enhanced user experience. Hosting details are limited but domain registrar is EuroDNS S.A. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to improve resilience.
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.
