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

Vulpes.lv is a Latvian-based small business specializing in professional 2D and 3D consulting, video lectures, and courses focused on garden design, architecture, and visualization using tools like SketchUp and AutoCAD. The website offers a variety of subscription-based video courses targeting individuals and companies interested in landscape architecture and design. The business model centers on online education and component sales, positioning itself as a niche provider in the Latvian market. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, MediaElement.js for media playback, and AddToAny for social sharing. The site is served over HTTPS with secure login forms incorporating CSRF tokens. While the site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, it lacks some security headers and an explicit cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and secure form handling. However, the absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies limits its security maturity. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, but the domain appears legitimate based on content and presentation. Privacy and cookie policies are present, indicating awareness of GDPR compliance, though cookie consent could be enhanced. Overall, Vulpes.lv presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with solid content quality and business credibility. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and transparency policies would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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

10 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. 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

  3. 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 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';…

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

Vulpes.lv operates in the education sector, focusing on specialized training for 3D modeling and garden design software. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, detailed courses tailored for Latvian users, covering SketchUp, Figma, Photoshop, and AutoCAD applications. Revenue streams are primarily subscription fees for video courses and sales of design components and books. The target customers include hobbyists, professionals, and companies seeking to enhance their design capabilities. The company maintains a focused partnership ecosystem with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies. Growth indicators include a diverse course catalog and active content updates. The business maintains a clear online presence with contact channels and privacy policies, supporting customer trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and login forms use CSRF tokens, reducing common web attack risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against clickjacking, XSS, and other attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency and readiness. Privacy policies are present, indicating GDPR awareness, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small educational business but could benefit from enhanced headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish terms of service, security policy, and incident response contact information to improve legal and security transparency.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet broader compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, MediaElement.js for media playback, and AddToAny for social sharing. The site is served over HTTPS with a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses secure login forms with CSRF tokens, indicating attention to secure data handling. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements.
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.
