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

TaxLink Latvia is a professional services firm specializing in tax, audit, accounting, and financial consulting services primarily for businesses with active operations in Latvia. As a member of the international IR Global network, it offers expert solutions with global reach, targeting both companies and private individuals. The company positions itself as a leading international level audit and consulting firm with over 14 years of experience and a broad client base. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, showcasing key services such as transfer pricing, tax risk management, and financial consulting. The technical infrastructure of the website is built on modern and widely used technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper.js, and Google services such as Maps, Tag Manager, and Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and responsive design. However, some SEO and accessibility features could be improved for better performance and compliance. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and employs standard best practices such as asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and no formal security or incident response policies are published on the site. Privacy and cookie policies are present, indicating some level of compliance with data protection regulations, though GDPR compliance is not explicitly confirmed. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image suitable for its business domain. The lack of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the content and presentation suggest a legitimate and established business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, improving SEO and accessibility, and adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.

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

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

Business profile

TaxLink Latvia operates in the finance sector, providing specialized tax, audit, accounting, and financial consulting services. Its membership in IR Global enhances its market positioning by offering international reach and credibility. The company targets medium-sized businesses and international clients requiring expert financial advisory services. The website highlights a strong client portfolio with logos of reputable companies, indicating a well-established customer base. The business model focuses on professional services with a consultative approach, leveraging expertise and global networks. Growth indicators include a broad service offering and a 14-year operational history. The partnership with IR Global and visible client testimonials serve as competitive advantages. The company’s digital presence is professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency in security and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager and Analytics is standard but requires careful configuration to ensure privacy compliance. The absence of explicit security headers and incident response information represents a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content. The site lacks a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for building trust and managing security risks. GDPR compliance is partially indicated through privacy and cookie policies but lacks explicit statements or mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a professional services website but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Enhance SEO metadata and accessibility features to improve website performance, user experience, and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Review and ensure full GDPR compliance, including explicit consent mechanisms, data retention policies, and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3.4, Swiper.js for sliders, Fancybox for UI elements, and intl-tel-input for phone input formatting. Google Maps API integration provides location visualization. Analytics and tag management are handled via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with asynchronous script loading for performance. The site is mobile responsive and uses multiple CSS frameworks and libraries for styling and interaction. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in SEO and accessibility. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization of some libraries and enhanced 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.
