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

RixTrans is a professional translation service company based in Riga, Latvia, specializing in quality language solutions for diverse industries including IT, marketing, medical, telecommunications, government, finance, and automotive sectors. The company emphasizes long-term client relationships, quality assurance through native speakers and industry experts, and affordable pricing enabled by advanced translation management systems and CAT tools. Their market position is that of a reliable, quality-focused language service provider serving clients across Europe and North America. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Fonts, and Owl Carousel, with performance optimizations via Google Pagespeed. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and accessible navigation. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are evident. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though security headers and incident response information are lacking. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable gap, reducing domain trust slightly, but the professional presentation, ISO 17100 certification, and comprehensive contact information support the company's legitimacy. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented and GDPR compliant. Overall, RixTrans presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with minor areas for security and transparency improvements.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

RixTrans operates as a specialized language service provider targeting companies requiring translation, localization, editing, and related services. Their competitive advantage lies in combining quality native linguists with technology-driven efficiency and affordable pricing. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on B2B clients in multiple regulated and technical industries. The company leverages certifications like ISO 17100 to enhance credibility. Their digital presence supports client acquisition through multilingual support, clear service offerings, and case studies. Growth indicators include a broad language portfolio and regional focus on Europe and North America. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. The company maintains active social media channels to engage clients and build brand awareness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner supporting GDPR compliance. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap that could be exploited. There is no published incident response or security contact information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant front-end stack with jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Fonts, optimized with Google Pagespeed techniques. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and website schema. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not available. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement. Accessibility is basic but functional. The site uses secure HTTPS connections and session management with cookies. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but security header implementation is missing. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
