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

Startup House Riga operates as a central hub for the startup community in Riga, Latvia, providing coworking spaces and community services primarily targeted at technology startups and entrepreneurs. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt framework and standard JavaScript polyfills, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and uses structured data to enhance SEO, but lacks advanced accessibility features and comprehensive SEO optimizations. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and some JavaScript security hardening, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Business credibility is supported by consistent WHOIS data and clear branding, but contact information is limited to a physical address without emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

8 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 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 positions itself as an essential community and coworking space for startups in Riga, operated by TechHub Riga. Its business model focuses on providing physical space and community engagement for startups, likely generating revenue through memberships and events. The market position is that of a central startup ecosystem player in Latvia, targeting entrepreneurs and early-stage companies. The website content and metadata emphasize this focus, but lack detailed business information such as founding year or company registration details. The partnership with TechHub Riga adds credibility. There is no evidence of extensive marketing or affiliate programs, indicating a community-driven rather than commercial-heavy approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and JavaScript includes hardened fetch and XHR overrides to prevent unauthorized requests. However, no explicit security headers like Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Wix, using Wix Thunderbolt framework and standard JavaScript polyfills for compatibility. The hosting is provided by Wix, ensuring HTTPS and basic performance optimizations. The site uses JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media meta tags for sharing. Performance is moderate, with some polyfills and scripts loaded. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is implemented at a basic level with meta tags and canonical URLs. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking services. The technical stack is modern but limited by the Wix platform constraints, which may restrict advanced customization or security configurations.
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.
