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

OTTOMAN METAL is a small artisanal metal workshop based in Latvia, specializing in custom blacksmithing and decorative metal products including gates, doors, railings, furniture, and accessories. The business emphasizes individual craftsmanship and artistic uniqueness, targeting residential and commercial customers seeking bespoke metalwork. The website is built on the Blogger platform, featuring a custom theme with modern web technologies such as jQuery and Font Awesome, and integrates Google Analytics and AdSense for tracking and monetization. While the site is accessible and well-structured with good content quality and mobile optimization, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, and no WHOIS registration data is publicly available, which raises some legitimacy concerns. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating some privacy awareness. Overall, the site presents a professional front for a niche manufacturing business but would benefit from improved transparency and security enhancements.

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. 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

  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"

      • 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';…

  3. 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

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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector focusing on artisanal metal fabrication. Its market position is niche, serving customers who value custom, handcrafted metal products. The business model revolves around bespoke orders and direct sales, supported by a content-rich website showcasing products and projects. Social media channels on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram support marketing efforts. The partnership with kaltsmetals.lv suggests a local business network. The absence of WHOIS data and formal privacy/legal pages indicates areas for operational maturity improvement. The company appears to have been founded around 2014, consistent with website content timestamps.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site uses standard third-party scripts including Google Analytics and AdSense, which require careful management to avoid privacy issues. The cookie consent mechanism is present, but no detailed privacy policy or incident response information is available. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, formalizing privacy and security policies, and conducting regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Verify and publish WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update SSL/TLS configurations to maintain strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the Blogger platform, utilizing HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons. Google Analytics and AdSense scripts are integrated for analytics and advertising. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. The lack of security headers and minimal WHOIS data are technical risks that should be addressed to improve overall site robustness and trustworthiness.
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.
