SandBlasting is a Latvian small-sized service company specializing in sandblasting, industrial painting, and high-pressure washing services. The company positions itself as one of the leading providers in Latvia for professional surface cleaning and restoration, targeting both businesses and individuals requiring these services. Their website is professionally designed using WordPress with the Enfold theme and includes multimedia content, a portfolio of works, and partner logos, indicating a mature digital presence. The company maintains active social media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, enhancing their market reach and trustworthiness. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including WordPress CMS, Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized and loads with moderate performance. However, some security best practices such as implementing security headers and publishing privacy and terms of service policies are missing, which could be improved to enhance compliance and security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and protects its contact forms with reCAPTCHA, reducing spam risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts a full domain legitimacy assessment, but the professional presentation and consistent branding suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the website demonstrates a good security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security headers. Strategically, SandBlasting should focus on publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations, implement recommended security headers, and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures. These steps will improve trust and reduce potential risks. Regular updates and monitoring of the WordPress environment are also advised to maintain security and performance.

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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SandBlasting operates in the manufacturing and industrial services sector, focusing on surface cleaning and restoration using sandblasting technology. Their business model is service-oriented, catering to clients needing cleaning of brick, stone, wood, and metal surfaces, as well as industrial painting and high-pressure washing. The company targets both commercial and residential customers in Latvia, leveraging professional equipment and personalized client service. Their market position is strong locally, supported by partnerships with recognized companies and a visible portfolio. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing maintenance services. The partnership ecosystem includes construction and industrial firms, enhancing credibility and market reach. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a well-maintained website showcasing recent works. Operationally, the company appears focused on quality and customer satisfaction, with a clear emphasis on professionalism and technical expertise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with an excellent SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. Google reCAPTCHA v3 integration on the contact form protects against automated spam submissions. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML source. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, although cookie consent mechanisms appear partially implemented. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from enhancements in policy publication, header implementation, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user trust.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 using the Enfold theme version 7.1, a popular and well-supported CMS and theme combination. SEO is managed via the Yoast SEO plugin, which provides structured data and meta tag optimization. Google Analytics is integrated using gtag.js with IP anonymization enabled, reflecting privacy-aware analytics practices. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used to protect forms from spam and abuse. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses MediaElement.js for video playback. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification applied to CSS and JS assets. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport meta tags. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for a small business website, 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.
