Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

SIA SCALARS is a Latvian-based company specializing in industrial automation solutions, primarily as a partner of Yaskawa in the Baltic and CIS regions. Their business focuses on providing servo systems, frequency converters, and related services such as system selection, programming, commissioning, diagnostics, and repair. The website reflects a professional B2B service provider with a clear market position as a regional partner for Yaskawa products. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with several common plugins and frameworks, but it runs an outdated WordPress version and shows a WordPress error notice, indicating potential server configuration issues. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking security headers and showing outdated software components. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires updates and improvements in security and compliance to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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.

Priority findings

10 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

  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"

      • 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

The company operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, targeting industrial clients needing motion automation solutions. Their partnership with Yaskawa provides a competitive advantage and access to high-quality products. The business model is focused on distribution and technical services, including programming and maintenance. The website content and linked domains confirm a strong partnership ecosystem. However, the absence of detailed contact information and privacy policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the presence of recent news suggests ongoing activity. Strategic observations include the need to modernize the website infrastructure and enhance transparency to support business credibility.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with notable gaps. The presence of a WordPress error notice publicly visible suggests misconfiguration that could expose sensitive information. The outdated WordPress core and plugins increase vulnerability risk. No security headers are detected, reducing protection against common web attacks. The site uses HTTPS, which is positive, but lacks advanced security controls. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Data protection practices and GDPR compliance indicators are absent, which may expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from structured improvements and regular audits.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest secure versions immediately.
  2. Configure the server to suppress WordPress error notices from public view to prevent information leakage.
  3. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Develop and publish privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with Visual Composer and Yoast SEO plugins, supported by Bootstrap and jQuery libraries. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from both internal and external sources, including Google Fonts and Font Awesome. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Mobile responsiveness is good due to Bootstrap usage. Accessibility is basic with no advanced ARIA or semantic enhancements observed. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. However, the WordPress version is outdated, and an error notice is present, indicating technical debt and potential security risks. Modernization and maintenance are recommended to reduce operational 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.
