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

POLYGLOT is a Latvian-based professional translation bureau offering a wide range of written and oral translation services primarily focused on Baltic and other European languages. The company serves both individual and corporate clients, providing services such as document translation, interpretation, editing, notarial certification, and localization. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and multilingual support, targeting a diverse audience requiring language services. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Modernizr. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though some technical improvements such as updating libraries and adding security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes a privacy consent checkbox on its contact form, but lacks visible security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could pose risks. No incident response or security policies are published, and WHOIS data could not be retrieved, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices. Strategically, POLYGLOT should focus on improving its security posture, implementing cookie consent, updating technical components, and publishing clear security and incident response policies to strengthen trust and compliance. These steps will support its market position as a reliable language service provider in Latvia and beyond.

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

9 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

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

POLYGLOT operates in the language services sector, targeting businesses and individuals needing translation and interpretation. The company leverages a service-based business model with a focus on quality and timeliness, supported by client testimonials and corporate partnerships. Its market positioning is that of a trusted local bureau with a diverse service portfolio. The presence of a partner training center (polyglotskola.lv) suggests investment in skill development. Revenue streams likely include document translation, interpretation, and related language services. The company’s growth indicators include long-term client relationships and multilingual website support. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced digital security and privacy compliance to maintain competitive advantage and client trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and a privacy consent checkbox on forms. However, the absence of security headers, use of an outdated jQuery version, and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content, but the outdated libraries and missing headers could expose the site to risks. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie policy and explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 1.11.0, Modernizr, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. It is mobile responsive with dedicated CSS for smaller screens and uses iframeResizer for embedded content. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Technical debt is indicated by the use of outdated jQuery and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve accessibility features, and enhance SEO with structured data. Technical risks include potential vulnerabilities from outdated libraries and lack of security headers that could impact business operations if exploited.
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.
