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

Liepaja Shipyard is a well-established medium-sized manufacturing and ship repair company based in Latvia, founded in 1946. It specializes in the repair of marine and industrial diesel engines, manufacturing certain engine types, and building small to medium tonnage ships including special purpose vessels and floating docks. The company holds several industry certifications such as ISO 9001:2008 and maritime safety certificates, indicating a commitment to quality and regulatory compliance. The website presents a professional image with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting maritime industry clients and ship owners primarily in the Baltic region and internationally. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with jQuery and uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. However, it lacks modern security headers and privacy compliance features such as cookie and privacy policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, which may hinder direct communication and trust. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification.

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

12 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP 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

  4. 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"

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 holds a strong market position as the largest shipyard in the Baltic region with a diverse international client base including countries like Egypt, Russia, Ukraine, Algeria, and Poland. Its business model focuses on B2B industrial services in ship repair, engine repair, and shipbuilding. The presence of multiple certifications and a long operational history since 1946 supports its credibility. The website content and structure indicate a focus on quality and reliability, targeting maritime and industrial sectors. The partnership with 3cuba.lv suggests collaboration in digital or design services. Growth indicators include a history of continuous reconstruction and expansion of services. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy compliance may impact customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a moderate security posture. It uses HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data) and includes no visible exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are best practices to mitigate common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which limits the ability to report or respond to security incidents. The use of third-party analytics services introduces moderate user tracking without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is basic and requires improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Conduct a WHOIS domain registration review once query limits reset to verify domain legitimacy and update registration details if necessary.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme named 'shipyard'. It uses jQuery 2.1.1 and includes Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager scripts for traffic analysis. The site loads multiple CSS and JS files locally, indicating a self-hosted approach. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and charset tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. No forms are present on the homepage, limiting data collection. The hosting provider is not identified from the data. The site could benefit from modernization of the tech stack, improved performance optimization, and enhanced security configurations.
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.
