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

WaterFilters.lv is a Latvian company specializing in water filtration products and services, including consultation, installation, and servicing for residential, office, and industrial clients. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and provides clear contact information, positioning the company as a specialized local provider in the water filtration sector. The business model focuses on product sales combined with value-added services such as water analysis and system maintenance. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, offering good mobile optimization and SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie consent mechanism, though no dedicated privacy policy page was found. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust analysis. Overall, the site is credible and functional with room for security and compliance improvements.

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

  2. 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. Security headers

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 targets Latvian residential and commercial customers seeking water filtration solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive range of filters and related services, including industrial-grade systems. The business appears small-sized, founded around 2018, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The website content and structured data reinforce the company's branding and market positioning. The presence of multilingual support indicates an intent to serve diverse language groups within Latvia. The company leverages standard digital marketing and analytics tools but does not show evidence of advanced certifications or security frameworks.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from automated abuse. A cookie consent banner is present, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No public security policy or incident response contact information is available, which may hinder transparency and trust. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file suggests limited formal security communication. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Create and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution, indicating a mature and maintainable technical stack. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, enabling moderate user tracking and marketing insights. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and Google Fonts, supporting performance and reliability. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive layouts and adaptive images. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but provides basic semantic structure and navigation clarity.
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.
