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

Technical Partners International Inc. is a Canadian-based consultancy with operations in Riga, Latvia, specializing in project management, monitoring consultancy, and representative services primarily targeting businesses interested in the Baltic region and European Union markets. The company leverages western experience combined with local expertise to facilitate business setup, investment, and trade in Northern Europe. The website content is business-focused, providing clear contact information but lacks comprehensive privacy, cookie, and security policy disclosures. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.4.2 and the Colorbox plugin, indicating an outdated technology stack. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are areas for improvement. The website is accessible without WAF or security challenges but shows basic SEO and accessibility features. Hosting and domain registration are stable with a reputable registrar and domain age consistent with the business history. From a security perspective, the site has moderate security posture with domain status protections but lacks visible security headers and uses outdated libraries, which could expose it to vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Contact information is clearly presented, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website is functional but requires modernization and enhanced security and privacy compliance to improve trust and reduce risk.

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.

    • 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

    • 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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

Technical Partners occupies a niche consultancy market bridging Canadian and Baltic business interests, focusing on facilitating trade, investment, and business establishment in the Baltic region and EU. Its competitive advantage lies in combining western business experience with local knowledge and networks. The business model centers on consultancy services and equipment representation, targeting companies seeking entry or expansion in Northern Europe. The company has a small size profile with a long operational history since 1992. The partnership ecosystem includes TP Riga (tpriga.lv), indicating regional collaboration. Growth indicators are not explicit but the stable domain and dual registration suggest ongoing operations. The website's limited digital maturity and lack of modern marketing or analytics tools suggest opportunities for digital transformation.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The domain benefits from registrar-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited status, but lacks DNSSEC, which is a recommended DNS security enhancement. The website uses an outdated jQuery version (1.4.2), which is known to have vulnerabilities, and no security headers like Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security are detected. There is no evidence of published security policies or incident response contacts, indicating limited formal security governance. GDPR compliance is not demonstrated due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. The business impact of these gaps includes potential exposure to client data risks and reduced trust from privacy-conscious clients. Incident response readiness appears minimal. Overall, the security culture and practices require strengthening to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web attacks.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan including dedicated contact channels to improve security governance and client confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on legacy technologies including jQuery 1.4.2 and Colorbox plugin, indicating technical debt and potential security risks. The HTML content uses windows-1257 charset, which is uncommon and may affect compatibility. There is no evidence of a modern CMS or responsive design, resulting in poor mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD. Hosting appears to be via Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc as registrar, but no hosting provider details are explicit. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. The site lacks analytics or tracking tools, limiting marketing insights. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated, requiring modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
