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

6 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

    • 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

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

SEM operates primarily in the B2B sector, targeting businesses requiring professional web presence and digital marketing support. Their broad industry coverage and extensive portfolio indicate a well-established market presence and diversified revenue streams. The company leverages partnerships and maintains visibility through social media and industry publications. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored web solutions with ongoing support and optimization, positioning them competitively in the Latvian and regional markets. The presence of certifications and awards further strengthens their credibility and appeal to discerning clients.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented in compliance with GDPR, reflecting a strong privacy culture. Analytics and tracking scripts are loaded with user consent, minimizing privacy risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) suggests room for improvement. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from third-party components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain up-to-date documentation of data retention policies and communicate them clearly in privacy materials.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing modern front-end technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates popular analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Yandex Metrika, all managed with user consent via Klaro cookie consent manager. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for local business. Performance is moderate, with some deferred scripts and lazy loading implemented. The technical infrastructure is robust but could be improved by adding security headers and optimizing accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the HTML content.
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.
