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

SIA “Skaus” is a Latvian company specializing in waste management services including construction debris removal, household waste disposal, snow removal, container rental, and manipulator services. Established in 2007, the company targets local businesses and residents requiring efficient waste removal solutions. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, featuring clear navigation, a contact phone number, and a contact form to facilitate customer engagement. The presence of multilingual support (Latvian and Russian) broadens its accessibility within the region. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection on forms. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with Yoast SEO integration. However, some security best practices such as explicit security headers are missing, which could be improved to enhance the security posture. The SSL configuration is good, ensuring encrypted communications. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks visible privacy and terms of service policies, which impacts GDPR compliance confidence. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, and WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Despite these gaps, the site shows no signs of malicious content or suspicious behavior. Overall, the website represents a legitimate small business with a solid digital presence but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures, security headers, and domain registration transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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

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

SIA “Skaus” operates in the transportation sector focusing on waste removal and container rental services in Latvia. The company leverages a service-based business model targeting construction companies, property managers, and residents. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence since 2007 and a comprehensive service offering including green waste and snow removal. The website's multilingual capability supports broader market reach. The company appears to maintain direct customer engagement via phone and online forms, indicating a personalized service approach. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website data. The digital infrastructure is modern but could be further enhanced for security and compliance. The absence of detailed business certifications or trust seals suggests a focus on local market operations rather than international expansion.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits the site's preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is uncertain due to missing privacy and terms of service pages, although a cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process to demonstrate security readiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing WHOIS data or using a verified domain registration to improve domain trustworthiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and flexible content management approach. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and font optimizations. However, no advanced hosting or CDN information was detected. Accessibility features appear basic, and no ARIA landmarks or roles were explicitly found in the provided content. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers and improved privacy compliance documentation.
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.
