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

J. Smilgas Tehnoloģiskais birojs (SMTB) is a Latvian technology company specializing in supplying testing and measuring equipment from notable manufacturers such as Tektronix, Keithley, and others. They also provide technological service consultations and participate in Latvian and EU-level projects, positioning themselves as a leading representative firm in Latvia within their sector. The website content is professionally presented with clear navigation and relevant business information targeting telecommunications operators and research organizations in the electronics industry. Technically, the website uses a traditional tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various JavaScript plugins, but some libraries are outdated, which may pose security risks. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers and outdated libraries, and there is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, which impacts GDPR compliance. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust assessment. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from security and compliance improvements.

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. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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

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 · 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

SMTB operates as a small Latvian technology business focused on supplying specialized testing equipment and consulting services. Their market position as a leading representative in Latvia for several international manufacturers indicates a niche but stable market presence. The business model revolves around equipment supply, technical consulting, and project collaboration with research and industrial entities. The company maintains social media presence on Twitter and Facebook, enhancing outreach. Revenue streams likely derive from equipment sales and consulting contracts. The absence of detailed corporate data such as founding year or parent company limits deeper business intelligence. The partnership with Motion Media Park (mmp.lv) suggests collaboration with local digital service providers. Growth indicators are not explicit, but participation in EU projects implies active engagement in innovation and funding opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but not confirmed from the HTML content alone. The use of outdated jQuery 1.8.3 introduces potential vulnerabilities. No security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS are detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The absence of forms reduces attack surface but also limits user interaction. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with room for significant improvements in library updates, security headers, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Include security incident response contact information and consider publishing a security policy.
  5. Conduct a full security audit including SSL/TLS configuration verification and penetration testing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Font Awesome for icons, and multiple JavaScript plugins for UI components such as sliders and carousels. Google Fonts are loaded via HTTP, which is a minor security concern if the site is served over HTTPS. The site loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager scripts for tracking. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. Accessibility features are minimal, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected in the HTML snippet. The site does not appear to use a CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data.
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.
