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

Reub is a Latvian language online media platform providing practical advice and news focused on finance, technology, home care, and useful tips for everyday life in Latvia. The website targets the general Latvian public interested in improving their daily living through informative articles. The business model is content publishing with monetization likely through advertising and affiliate marketing. The site is positioned as a niche media outlet with consistent branding and good content quality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing common libraries such as jQuery and plugins like Rank Math SEO and Owl Carousel. It integrates third-party SDKs for advertising and tracking, including Marfeel and Yandex RTB. The site is mobile optimized and has moderate performance. However, it lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but does not implement common security headers, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the website appears legitimate and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced security practices, privacy compliance, and clearer contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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

Reub operates as a small media company focused on Latvian consumers, delivering content in finance, technology, cleaning, and lifestyle advice. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, practical content tailored to Latvian readers. Revenue streams likely include advertising and affiliate marketing, as indicated by ad network integrations. The target customers are general Latvian internet users seeking useful everyday information. The site shows growth potential through content expansion and improved compliance. No clear partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. The company maintains consistent branding and a professional web presence, supporting market credibility.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, which is essential. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No forms or input fields were detected, minimizing attack surface. The site lacks published privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. The security culture appears basic but could be improved by adopting best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit WordPress plugins and themes for vulnerabilities and keep them updated.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a modern but common technology stack including jQuery and SEO plugins. It integrates advertising SDKs and tracking pixels from Marfeel and Yandex RTB. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies. No critical technical debt was observed, but security headers and privacy compliance are lacking. The site could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks.
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.
