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

Skonto Group is a Latvia-based construction and development group comprising five companies specializing in turnkey solutions for public, residential, and infrastructure projects worldwide. With approximately 25 years of experience, the group holds a strong market position in Latvia and offers a broad range of services including consulting, design, engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting construction and development clients. Technically, the site uses modern tracking tools like Google Analytics and Tag Manager, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though no explicit CMS or hosting details are evident. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no advanced security headers or policies are published, and no cookie consent mechanism is present. Business credibility is supported by clear subsidiary listings and certificates, but contact details are limited to a contact form and a Facebook link. Overall, the site is functional and professional but could improve in privacy compliance 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Skonto Group operates as an important entity in the real estate and manufacturing sectors, focusing on turnkey construction solutions. Its business model leverages a group structure with specialized subsidiaries to cover a wide service spectrum. The company targets public and private sector clients requiring complex construction projects. The presence of certificates and a long operational history indicate competitive advantages and market trust. The partnership ecosystem includes three main subsidiaries, enhancing service delivery capabilities. Growth indicators are implied by the international scope of projects and diversified services. The company’s digital presence is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and direct contact information to strengthen customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, and no published security or incident response policies are found. There is no cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, limiting transparency. The absence of exposed sensitive data is positive, but the site could improve by publishing explicit security policies and implementing stronger header protections. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the site content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by adding verified company emails and phone numbers on the website.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a modern front-end approach, including asynchronous loading of Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts. CSS and JS are bundled and minified, indicating attention to performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. However, no explicit accessibility features beyond basic viewport settings are detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization in security practices and enhanced transparency.
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.
