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

VUCA communications is a full-service integrated advertising agency based in Latvia, offering a range of creative and marketing services including advertising campaigns, branding, content marketing, and media production. The website is built on WordPress and uses modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site features multimedia content including a Vimeo video background and social media integration, targeting businesses seeking creative advertising solutions. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits full domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website presents a professional image but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best 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"

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 company positions itself as a top creative advertising agency in Latvia, focusing on integrated marketing services. Its business model revolves around providing creative content, branding, and advertising campaigns to business clients. The website targets Latvian and regional businesses looking for professional marketing services. The presence of social media channels supports brand engagement and marketing reach. Lack of detailed company registration or contact information on the site limits transparency. The agency appears to be small-sized with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The use of WordPress and common marketing tools suggests a standard digital marketing infrastructure.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. No forms or input fields were detected on the homepage to assess input sanitization or secure data handling. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which reduces preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user support.
  4. Create a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible security reporting and incident response.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.7.2 with a custom theme 'arctic' and uses a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and media players like Vimeo and MediaElement.js. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking and analytics. The site loads multimedia content such as a Vimeo video background, which may impact performance but is handled with lazy loading and event listeners. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. No major technical errors or broken elements were detected in the HTML content. However, accessibility features appear basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance optimizations.
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.
