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

Rubate Metal SIA is a small Latvian manufacturing company specializing in metalworking and metal product manufacturing since 2006. Their business model focuses on contract manufacturing and subcontracting, producing custom metal products based on client specifications. The company maintains a professional online presence with a WordPress-based website using Elementor and Astra theme, supported by Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Contact information including phone, email, physical address, and contact forms are clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts privacy compliance ratings. Technically, the website is built on a modern CMS platform with a good design and mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with standard SEO practices implemented via Yoast SEO. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but the absence of security headers and privacy mechanisms suggests room for improvement. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional for its industry, but improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices are recommended to enhance user 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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

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

Rubate Metal operates in the manufacturing sector, targeting businesses requiring metalworking and custom metal product fabrication. Their competitive advantage lies in over 15 years of experience and a focus on contract manufacturing. The business model is B2B, relying on client drawings and specifications to deliver tailored metal products. The company leverages digital tools like WordPress and Google Analytics to maintain an online presence and track engagement. Growth indicators are not explicitly stated, but the presence of a career page suggests ongoing operations and potential expansion. Partnerships appear limited to social media engagement, with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy and security policies to align with industry standards and improve market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. No sensitive data leakage was observed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. The use of updated plugins and themes is not verifiable but recommended. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen website security.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update all CMS components, plugins, and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and visitor analytics are collected through Google Analytics integrated by MonsterInsights. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets from both internal and external sources, including Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons. Performance is moderate with some optimization such as lazy loading images. Mobile responsiveness is good, and navigation is clear. However, no advanced hosting or CDN information is available. The lack of security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical stack is standard for small business websites but could benefit from security and privacy 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.
