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

VOTTA LAB is a Latvia-based digital marketing agency specializing in branding, high-performing websites, and results-driven marketing services. The company targets businesses seeking to grow through impactful digital presence and marketing strategies. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with modern technologies such as Bootstrap and Google Analytics integrated. The technical infrastructure is solid with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the business appears legitimate and credible, but could improve transparency 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

The agency operates in the digital marketing sector, focusing on branding and website development for business clients. It is a relatively new company founded in 2022, with a small size profile. The business model is service-oriented, providing creative and technical marketing solutions. Market positioning is regional with a focus on Latvia but potentially serving broader markets. The website shows consistent branding and professional content, indicating a serious approach to market presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries are publicly disclosed. Revenue streams likely come from client projects in branding and digital marketing.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is properly configured, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Overall, the site is secure enough for general business use but should enhance security and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and uses Bootstrap framework for responsive design. It integrates Google Analytics for traffic monitoring and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site loads moderate performance assets and is mobile optimized. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registrar is GoDaddy. The site uses modern fonts and icon sets. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Technical debt appears low, but security and privacy documentation need improvement.
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.
