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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 positions itself as a key player in the Estonian online loan comparison market, leveraging affiliate partnerships with loan providers to generate revenue. Its competitive advantage lies in aggregating loan offers and providing detailed product information and user guidance. The business model is affiliate-driven, focusing on consumer finance products. The target audience includes Estonian residents seeking various loan types, from quick loans to refinancing. The website's partnership ecosystem includes other finance-related portals such as topfinanses.lv and vaikelaenud.ee. Growth potential exists through expanding loan provider partnerships and enhancing user experience. The company is relatively small, founded in 2016, and operates with a clear focus on the finance sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web threats. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests limited formalized security communication. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a content and affiliate site but could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish detailed privacy and security policies explicitly addressing GDPR compliance and data protection.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing incident response contact channels and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using version 5.3.18, supplemented by plugins for SEO (Yoast), multilingual support (WPML), loan comparison, and cookie consent. The tech stack includes jQuery and jQuery UI for frontend interactivity, Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons, and integrates Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, and Google Adsense for analytics and monetization. Hosting is managed by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. The site structure and metadata are well-implemented, including JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack by updating WordPress and plugins and improving accessibility features.
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.
