New Black is a creative digital content marketing agency based in Riga, Latvia, specializing in e-commerce, digital communication, and advertising services. Established in 2016, the agency has grown rapidly to a medium-sized team and serves over 120 clients including major brands such as ASUS, Swedbank, Samsung, and Huawei. Their business model focuses on delivering measurable results through web development, UI/UX design, data-driven strategies, and multi-platform advertising campaigns. The company holds a strong market position as one of the most awarded digital marketing agencies in the Baltics, supported by numerous industry recognitions and a robust client portfolio. Technically, the website demonstrates a modern and performant infrastructure with responsive design, optimized media assets, and adherence to SEO best practices. The tech stack includes standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and video content delivery. While no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, the site shows fast loading times and good accessibility features. However, there is room for improvement in privacy compliance, particularly the absence of a cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Security headers are not explicitly detected, and no incident response or security policy information is publicly available. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain registration legitimacy, but the overall trust signals from client testimonials, awards, and professional presentation support a positive security posture. Overall, New Black presents a professional and credible digital presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance with cookie consent, publishing security policies, implementing security headers, and providing data protection officer contact details to strengthen GDPR adherence and security transparency.

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. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

New Black operates in the digital marketing sector with a focus on e-commerce and digital communication services. Their competitive advantages include a strong client base of over 120 brands, multiple industry awards, and a comprehensive service offering that spans web development, advertising, and content strategy. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based and retainer contracts with clients across diverse industries including healthcare, real estate, electronics, and banking. The target customer segments are medium to large brands seeking measurable digital marketing results. Growth indicators include rapid team expansion and sustained client relationships since 2016. The partnership ecosystem includes major advertising platforms such as Meta and Google, as well as industry associations, enhancing credibility and market reach. Strategic observations highlight the agency's emphasis on data-driven storytelling and creative campaigns that deliver high ROAS and engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity level of New Black's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable third-party libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents a gap in best practices. There is no publicly available incident response or security policy documentation, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. GDPR compliance is partially demonstrated through a comprehensive privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism and data protection officer contact reduces compliance completeness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing agency but could be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Designate and publicly list a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to strengthen GDPR compliance and user confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with optimized media formats such as WebP images and MP4 video content. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized, leveraging CSS variables and likely Bootstrap framework conventions. Performance is fast with preloading of fonts and critical assets. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, but the presence of DigitalOcean as a partner suggests possible cloud hosting. The site lacks visible forms, reducing attack surface but also limiting direct user data collection. Technical debt appears low with clean markup and no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility features and implement advanced security configurations to reduce risk and improve compliance.
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.
