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

Merko mājas is a Latvian real estate developer specializing in sustainable and innovative residential projects. With over 18 years of experience, they have established a strong market presence in Latvia, offering modern living spaces that integrate technology and nature. The website is professionally designed on the Squarespace platform, featuring detailed project portfolios and active social media channels. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and enforces HTTPS with HSTS, ensuring good security posture. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent banner and a cookie policy page, though explicit privacy and security policies are limited. Contact information is not prominently displayed, which may affect user trust. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site is credible and well-maintained but could improve transparency and compliance documentation.

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

6 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

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 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';…

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

Merko mājas operates in the Latvian real estate sector, targeting urban residents seeking modern, sustainable homes. Their business model focuses on property development and sales, with a portfolio of active projects in Riga and surrounding areas. The company leverages digital marketing and social media to engage potential buyers. Their market position is solid, supported by industry awards and a growing customer base. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and professional content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled. Security headers are present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. The use of reputable third-party analytics and tag management tools is noted, though continuous monitoring of these scripts is recommended. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness.

  2. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. The site loads with moderate performance and is optimized for mobile devices. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The hosting and infrastructure are managed by Squarespace, providing reliable uptime and security features such as SSL and HSTS. The technical implementation is solid for a medium-sized business website, with opportunities for enhancement in accessibility and policy documentation.
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.
