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

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

  2. 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)

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

The company targets industrial and professional customers in the welding and metalworking sectors across Latvia and the Baltic region. Its business model centers on wholesale distribution and value-added services. The presence of sister companies in Lithuania and Estonia indicates a regional group structure. The company leverages partnerships with well-known brands to maintain competitive advantage. The website content and structure support effective customer engagement and marketing efforts. Growth indicators include active news updates and participation in industry events. The company maintains a consistent brand image and transparent communication channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and security.txt file suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or security contact information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response communication.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding explicit incident response contact information and security policy details on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive UI components and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices such as meta tags and hreflang attributes are properly implemented. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed 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.
