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

UrbanComm is a specialized city planning and real estate development consultancy based in Latvia, offering strategic advisory services focused on municipal bureaucratic procedures, stakeholder management, and urban communication strategies. The company positions itself as a pioneer in Latvia for applying BREEAM Communities principles in project development. The website is built on WordPress and demonstrates a professional design with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, lack of visible contact information, and missing security headers indicate areas for improvement in compliance and security posture. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, which slightly impacts trustworthiness assessment. Overall, the website presents a legitimate small business with moderate technical maturity and a need for enhanced privacy and security 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

9 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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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

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

UrbanComm operates in the real estate and urban planning sector, targeting municipalities, developers, and local communities. Their consulting business model focuses on facilitating communication and decision-making processes in city planning and development projects. The company leverages sustainability frameworks like BREEAM Communities to differentiate itself in the Latvian market. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, but lacks detailed business contact information and certifications that could strengthen credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The absence of analytics and marketing tools suggests a low digital marketing footprint.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or incident response contacts, which are important for security transparency and readiness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations, especially relevant for a business operating in the EU. No tracking or analytics scripts were found, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and security transparency.
  4. Enhance website contact information by including verified company emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  5. Consider integrating analytics and marketing tools with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement and improve digital presence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with minified CSS and JavaScript assets, indicating some optimization efforts. Google Fonts are used for typography, and JSON-LD structured data is implemented for SEO and rich snippets. The site is responsive with CSS media queries supporting various screen sizes, providing good mobile usability. Performance is moderate based on asset minification but could be improved with caching and CDN usage. No advanced frameworks or platforms beyond WordPress were detected. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small consultancy but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
