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

Sparta Media is a Latvian-based full-service media agency specializing in strategic planning, graphic design, digital marketing, analytics, and optimization with over 10 years of international market experience. The company targets businesses seeking comprehensive media and marketing solutions, positioning itself as a professional and experienced agency within the media sector. The website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity and technical infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and documented security policies, indicating room for improvement in security best practices. Overall, the website is professional, well-structured, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, slightly impacting trust assessment. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing detailed security and incident response policies, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to strengthen security and trust.

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 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

  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"

      • 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"

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

Sparta Media operates as a small media agency focused on delivering strategic media planning and creative services primarily to Latvian and international clients. Its business model revolves around providing end-to-end media solutions including local and digital media, graphic design, and strategic planning. The company leverages a professional online presence with clear contact information and social media integration, supporting client engagement and trust. While the company claims a decade of experience, the domain age cannot be verified due to WHOIS query limitations. The agency's market position is that of an established player in the Latvian media sector with a focus on quality service and strategic insight. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The company demonstrates awareness of privacy and data protection regulations, enhancing its credibility in the European market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent management via Cookiebot, indicating compliance with GDPR and basic security hygiene. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot requires ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration and perform periodic security assessments to maintain strong encryption standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts and jQuery 3.5.1. It uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a moderate level of technical sophistication. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and user experience. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
