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

11 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

The business operates in the photography services sector, focusing on studio rental and photo sessions with additional offerings like courses and gift cards. The company leverages local market positioning in Riga and targets a broad audience from professionals to families. The website content and social media presence support a credible and established local business. Revenue streams likely include studio rental fees, photography session charges, and educational course fees. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests an area for compliance improvement. The company registration number is provided, indicating formal business registration. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are present, indicating limited formal security governance. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential GDPR compliance gaps. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Establish and communicate an incident response contact or security email address for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to gain insights while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Vigbo CMS and uses jQuery 3.3.1 along with Google Fonts for typography. The site loads resources from a CDN (vigbo.tech) which can improve performance. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly with good navigation clarity. No advanced JavaScript frameworks or analytics tools are detected. The site performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. The lack of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small business website but can be enhanced for security and compliance maturity.
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.
