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

Vilnius Economics is a small economic consulting firm based in Lithuania, specializing in economic advisory services with a focus on modelling, econometrics, and data analytics to support business and public administration decisions. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting business and public sector clients. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using common plugins such as Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, and Visual Composer, with integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; while no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are evident, the absence of HTTPS confirmation, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms are notable gaps. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, which reduces transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

12 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  4. 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 · found on this site
  • 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 company operates in the niche market of economic consulting, providing specialized services in econometrics and data analytics. Its target audience includes businesses and public administration entities seeking expert economic advice. The business model is service-based consulting, likely generating revenue through client engagements. The firm appears to be relatively new, founded around 2017, and maintains a focused market position without visible subsidiaries or parent companies. The social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn supports professional networking and marketing efforts. The lack of direct contact details on the website may limit immediate client engagement but is partially mitigated by a contact form. The company’s digital footprint is modest but consistent with a small consulting firm.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with no visible signs of malware or vulnerabilities in the HTML content. However, the lack of HTTPS confirmation in the provided data is a critical concern, as secure transport is essential for protecting user data and maintaining trust. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options further weakens the security stance. No incident response or security policy pages are present, indicating limited formal security governance. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may lead to GDPR compliance issues. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in encryption, headers, and privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and ensure all site content is served securely.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish explicit privacy, security, and incident response policies to build trust and demonstrate compliance.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a combination of popular plugins and themes, including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Slider Revolution for visual content, and Visual Composer for page building. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates moderate tracking and data collection capabilities. Performance is moderate, with some optimization evident but potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. However, the absence of advanced accessibility features and security headers suggests technical debt and areas for modernization. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements to meet modern security and compliance standards.
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.
