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

Steel Master is a Latvian small manufacturing company specializing in the design, production, and installation of metal stairs, including spiral stairs, metal railings, and metal constructions. The company targets both individual and business customers seeking high-quality metal stair solutions. The website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and tracking tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The presence of multiple language subdomains suggests an intent to serve a broader regional audience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website presents a professional business front with room for improvement in privacy and security compliance.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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"

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

Steel Master operates in the manufacturing sector focused on metal stairs and related metal constructions. Their business model revolves around custom design, fabrication, and installation services. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as Yoast SEO and Google Analytics to enhance visibility and track user engagement. The presence of language-specific subdomains (English and Russian) indicates a strategy to expand market reach beyond Latvian-speaking customers. The company maintains a Facebook presence for social engagement. However, the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies may impact trust and compliance with GDPR regulations. No certifications or formal trust badges are displayed, which could be an area for future enhancement.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. However, no explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of contact emails and incident response contacts reduces readiness for security incident handling. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from implementing best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include clear company contact emails and incident response contacts on the website for transparency and support.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Brizy page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for product ratings. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and optimized images. However, no hosting provider information was detected, and no advanced security headers were found. The site could improve by adding accessibility enhancements and security best practices to reduce technical risks.
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.
