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

4x4Shop.lv is a Latvian-based e-commerce retailer specializing in 4x4 vehicle parts and accessories, serving enthusiasts and vehicle owners primarily in Latvia. The website acts as an official dealer for Ironman4x4 products, offering a range of automotive components with a user-friendly car selector tool to aid customers in finding compatible parts. The business model focuses on direct online sales with account management features such as wishlists and checkout. Technically, the site is built on the OpenCart platform, utilizing older but functional technologies like jQuery 2.1.1 and Bootstrap for responsive design. While the site is accessible and well-structured, it lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries, which could pose security risks. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits full domain legitimacy assessment, but the site appears legitimate based on content and business focus. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from technical and security updates to enhance trust and 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.

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 niche retailer in the automotive aftermarket sector, specifically targeting 4x4 vehicle owners in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in being an official dealer for Ironman4x4, a recognized brand in off-road vehicle parts. The business model is straightforward e-commerce with a focus on product compatibility and customer convenience. Revenue streams are primarily from direct product sales. The target customer segment includes 4x4 enthusiasts and vehicle owners seeking specialized parts. Growth indicators include a recent website redesign and a focus on expanding online availability of products. The partnership ecosystem is limited publicly but includes Ironman4x4 as a key supplier. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding digital marketing and improving security and privacy compliance to build customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data in the HTML content. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (2.1.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the site's defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR indicators. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to mitigate risks and enhance customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and all JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  4. Conduct an external SSL/TLS configuration audit to ensure strong encryption and certificate validity.
  5. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and customer confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OpenCart e-commerce platform, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. It uses older jQuery 2.1.1, which is outdated and may pose security risks. The site loads fonts from Typekit and Google Fonts, indicating some attention to typography and branding. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could be improved by updating libraries and optimizing assets. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA roles or advanced accessibility markup detected. SEO optimization is basic with meta description and keywords present but no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Hosting provider and server details are not disclosed in the HTML content.
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.
