PROFI Latvija is a Latvian media publication specializing in agricultural machinery and related industry news. It operates as part of Haymarket Media Ltd., providing news articles, advertising services, and subscription options targeted at Latvian-speaking agricultural professionals and enthusiasts. The website demonstrates a consistent brand presence and offers a range of content including news, interviews, reports, and video materials. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Foundation CSS, jQuery, and Google Analytics, and it is served over HTTPS ensuring secure data transmission. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and terms of service pages indicates a baseline compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in implementing security headers and explicit security policies.

Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and suitable for its target audience.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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"

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 website positions itself as a niche media outlet focused on agriculture and forestry machinery news in Latvia, leveraging its parent company Haymarket Media Ltd. for credibility. Its business model revolves around content publishing, advertising, and subscriptions. The site maintains partnerships with regional sister media sites and related industry portals, enhancing its market reach. The content is relevant and professionally presented, targeting industry professionals and enthusiasts. Advertising is managed through recognized networks like Adform, and analytics are handled via Google services, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The absence of direct contact information on the main pages suggests a focus on content and advertising rather than direct customer support. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services and enhancing security and privacy transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics, uses CSRF tokens in forms, and implements a cookie consent banner, reflecting awareness of basic security and privacy practices. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor contact channels for security issues, which are gaps in the security maturity. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Adform tracking pixels introduces moderate tracking but no evident vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media site but could be enhanced with additional headers, documented policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user controls over tracking.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Consider adding verified company contact information to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Foundation CSS framework, jQuery 3.4.1, and Slick carousel for UI components. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. The site includes CSRF protection in forms, indicating attention to secure data handling. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements.
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.
