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

404Lab is a small local business based in Riga, Latvia, specializing in the repair of electronic devices including iPhones, iPads, Samsung, Xiaomi phones, and computers. The company positions itself as a reliable and affordable service provider with a 90-day warranty and over 100 successful repairs. The website content is well-structured, professional, and clearly targets local customers seeking device repair services. Contact information is prominently displayed, including phone, email, and social media links, enhancing customer trust. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies such as Bootstrap 5.3.3, Bootstrap Icons, and Google Fonts, ensuring a responsive and visually consistent user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and features a clean navigation structure. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is discernible. Performance is moderate with no obvious technical issues. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance given the European location. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is present. The contact form collects personal data but lacks visible anti-abuse mechanisms such as CAPTCHA. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional for a small local repair business but would benefit from enhanced security headers, privacy compliance documentation, and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve its security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

404Lab operates in the technology repair sector, focusing on consumer electronics repair services in Riga, Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in offering quality repairs with a warranty and transparent pricing. The business model is service-based, targeting individual consumers and possibly small businesses needing device repairs. The presence of a contact form and active social media links suggests a customer-centric approach. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company appears to be a small-sized local player with a focus on quality and trust-building through guarantees and clear communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR, especially given the European jurisdiction. The contact form collects personal data but does not show visible anti-spam or abuse prevention measures. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling practices.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance the contact form with CAPTCHA or other anti-abuse mechanisms to prevent spam and potential abuse.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap 5.3.3 and Bootstrap Icons, ensuring responsive design and consistent UI elements. Google Fonts integration improves typography. The site does not appear to use a CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with no obvious bottlenecks, but no advanced optimization techniques or CDN usage beyond jsDelivr for libraries is detected. Accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for local business schema, aiding search engine visibility. Hosting provider and backend technologies are not identifiable from the provided data.
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.
