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. 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 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

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      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.

Business context

Business profile

SPRING PR & Communications operates in the media sector focusing on PR and communications services with a niche in capital markets. The business model is service-based, offering integrated communication strategies and execution. Market positioning as a pioneer in Latvia's capital market communications provides a competitive advantage. The company emphasizes a comprehensive approach from brand building to crisis communication and investor relations. The target customers are Latvian enterprises and organizations requiring specialized PR services. The website content and team bios indicate a small-sized company with experienced professionals. The agency leverages modern web technologies and maintains active social media channels to engage clients and prospects. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found. The business appears to be in early growth stages given the recent domain registration and founding date.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy regulations, but the lack of a privacy policy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. No suspicious scripts or third-party vulnerabilities were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small PR agency but can be improved by implementing recommended security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Establish and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby, a modern React-based static site generator, ensuring fast loading times and good SEO. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicitly stated but DNS is managed by NS1, a reputable DNS provider. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and is relatively new, consistent with the company's founding date. No CMS is detected, indicating a static site approach which reduces attack surface. Performance is fast with no broken elements detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented for a small agency website.
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.
