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

Skaala is a small Estonian investment company focused on creating meaningful, long-term value through private equity, real assets, and impact-driven projects. The company has roots dating back to 2005 with founders experienced in successful tech ventures and operates with a professional team led by four partners. The website reflects a modern, well-structured digital presence built on WordPress with advanced SVG animations and integration of Google Analytics for user insights. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks explicit security headers and privacy compliance documentation such as privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, Skaala presents as a legitimate and professional investment firm with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Skaala positions itself as an independent investment company with a diversified portfolio and impact focus. The founders have strong backgrounds in tech startups and venture capital, leveraging their experience to build a sustainable investment platform. The business model centers on long-term value creation across multiple asset classes. The company targets investors and partners interested in private equity and impact investments. The partnership with Plural platform indicates a strategic ecosystem approach. The website content and team bios support a credible market presence, though the recent domain registration suggests a rebranding or new digital identity.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a domain status of clientTransferProhibited, indicating domain transfer security. However, no security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No incident response or security contact information is provided. Google Analytics is used, implying user tracking without explicit privacy disclosures. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, privacy documentation, and vulnerability disclosure policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Provide explicit security incident response contact information or vulnerability disclosure guidelines.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end technologies including SVG animations (Keyshape), smooth scrolling (Lenis), and carousel functionality (Swiper). Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via dnsimple.com. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the business needs, though security enhancements are recommended.
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.
