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

SIA Scandmetall is a Latvian metal processing company established in 2011, specializing in a broad range of metalworking services including CNC turning, manual turning, CNC milling, manual milling, bending, threading, welding, sawing, sharpening, and drilling. The company targets industrial and business clients requiring quality metal fabrication and machining services. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and service descriptions, positioning Scandmetall as a reliable local manufacturing service provider. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content relevance. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident, and performance is moderate. Security headers are not detected, and privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS URLs, but the lack of visible security headers and absence of privacy and cookie policies suggest moderate security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site appears trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures. The overall risk is moderate with no critical issues detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, adding incident response contacts, and auditing third-party scripts. These steps will improve compliance, user trust, and security resilience.

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

9 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

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

Scandmetall operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on metal processing services for industrial clients. The company has a clear B2B business model, providing specialized machining and fabrication services. Its market position is that of an established local player with over a decade of experience. The website content and contact details support a professional business presence. Revenue streams likely derive from service contracts and custom metalwork orders. The target customer segment includes manufacturing firms and industrial businesses in Latvia and possibly neighboring regions. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are listed, indicating a focused operational scope. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and active online presence. The company maintains direct customer engagement through multiple contact points, enhancing client relations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency in case of security events. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces user tracking but without visible consent mechanisms, raising privacy concerns. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a security.txt file and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy by reviewing and limiting tracking scripts and providing opt-out options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap framework and jQuery library, indicating a modern responsive design approach. Google Fonts are used for typography, and PhotoSwipe is integrated for image galleries. Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts are included for analytics and marketing purposes. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets with versioning query parameters, suggesting some asset management. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA roles or advanced features noted. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and title tags but no Open Graph or structured data found. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and performance tuning.
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.
