54/100

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

IU “Pārventas veterinārā ambulance” is a small veterinary clinic based in Ventspils, Latvia, operating since 1997. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of veterinary services including diagnostics, surgery, therapies, ultrasonography, digital X-rays, gastroscopy, and animal chipping. The website reflects a professional and established local business targeting pet owners and animal caretakers in the region. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on veterinary healthcare. The website is built on WordPress using the Mesmerize theme and includes appointment scheduling functionality, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. From a technical perspective, the website uses modern web technologies such as jQuery and WordPress plugins but lacks advanced security headers and privacy policies. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring secure communication. The site is mobile-optimized and provides clear navigation and contact information, enhancing user experience. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and security headers indicates gaps in compliance and security best practices. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important HTTP security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits reduces confidence in domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences with no adult or explicit content. Strategically, the business should focus on improving privacy compliance by adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and ensuring regular updates of plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities. Enhancing transparency and security will improve trustworthiness and compliance with data protection regulations.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The veterinary clinic holds a stable position in the local market of Ventspils, Latvia, with over two decades of operation. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a wide range of veterinary services under one roof, including diagnostics, surgery, and therapies, supported by modern equipment such as digital X-rays and ultrasound. The business targets pet owners and animal caretakers, likely generating revenue from direct veterinary services and sales of veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal food. The website indicates a focus on client convenience with appointment scheduling and detailed contact information. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited but the established history suggests steady operations. The absence of advanced marketing or analytics tools suggests a traditional business approach with moderate digital engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, which is a critical security baseline. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data was found. The site lacks privacy and cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could delay mitigation of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish an incident response plan and provide clear contact channels for security issues.
  5. Enhance website transparency and trust signals by including certifications or testimonials.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Mesmerize theme and several plugins including an appointment scheduler and Contact Form 7. The technology stack is modern but standard for small business websites. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimization detected. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links for screen readers, though accessibility is basic. SEO optimization is minimal with some meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. There is opportunity to improve technical robustness by adding security headers, optimizing performance, and enhancing SEO with structured data.
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.
