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

Ostkom is a Latvian telecommunications company offering a range of services including optical and mobile internet, digital and interactive television, telephony, and home connectivity solutions. The company targets both residential and business customers within Latvia, positioning itself as a regional provider with a focus on stable and high-quality internet and TV services. The website content is well-structured and provides clear information about their offerings, supported by a consistent brand presence and social media engagement via Facebook. Technically, the website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform, utilizing modern frontend technologies such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and lazy loading for images. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. The presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates a reasonable level of digital maturity and compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent banners, but lacks explicit security headers and dedicated security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the website content and domain name align with a legitimate business entity in Latvia. Overall, Ostkom's website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with room for improvement in security best practices and transparency around incident response. The business appears credible and focused on delivering telecommunications services to its target market.

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.

Priority findings

8 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"

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

Ostkom operates in the telecommunications sector in Latvia, providing internet and TV services primarily to residential and business customers. The company leverages a bundled service model combining internet and television offerings to enhance customer value. Its market positioning is regional, focusing on stable and high-speed connectivity solutions. The business model relies on subscription-based revenue streams from internet, TV, and telephony services. Ostkom maintains a moderate digital presence with a website built on Bitrix CMS and social media engagement on Facebook. The lack of visible partnerships or subsidiaries suggests a focused operational scope. Growth indicators such as new service rollouts (e.g., optical network expansion in Dubeņi) demonstrate ongoing investment in infrastructure. The company’s strategic focus appears to be on quality service delivery and customer support rather than aggressive marketing or broad geographic expansion.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and does not provide explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the site’s HTML or scripts. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a regional telecommunications provider but with opportunities to enhance defenses and compliance documentation. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact information are not publicly available, which could be improved to strengthen trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform, a popular choice for business websites in Eastern Europe. It uses modern frontend libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel for carousels, and Perfect Scrollbar for UI enhancements. Lazy loading is implemented for images to improve performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is present but minimal, with canonical links and meta viewport tags. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
