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

SWD Factory is a Latvia-based software development company specializing in enterprise-level, data-intensive, and scientific software solutions. With over two decades of experience, they serve key industries including health science, solar energy, and transportation. Their business model focuses on flexible partnership and engagement models, offering full-cycle software development and IT consulting services. The company demonstrates a solid market position with long-term client relationships and a portfolio of specialized projects. Technically, the website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, hosted by Hetzner, with good performance and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by implementing DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention swdfactory.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for swdfactory.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

SWD Factory targets enterprise clients in pharmaceutical, solar energy, and transportation sectors, leveraging over 9 years in health science software, 17 years in solar energy, and 22 years in transportation software solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their full-cycle development capabilities, flexible engagement models, and deep domain expertise. Revenue streams likely include custom software development contracts, long-term vendor partnerships, and subcontracting. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and emphasizes customer-oriented service. Growth indicators include a diverse project portfolio and testimonials from reputable clients. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital trust by publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and is hosted on a reputable provider, indicating a baseline secure environment. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which may impact client confidence in security readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical controls to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain 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 strengthen web security.
  4. Develop and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.
  5. Consider integrating analytics and marketing tools with privacy-respecting configurations to enhance business intelligence while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. Hosting by Hetzner Online GmbH provides reliable infrastructure. The site uses SVG graphics and optimized font loading for efficient rendering. However, no CMS or third-party analytics tools were detected, indicating a lean technical stack. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC suggests some technical debt in security hardening. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can be enhanced with additional security and SEO best practices.
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.
