The company targets professional and business customers in Latvia, offering consultation, delivery, and in-person pickup options. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and relevant content in Latvian, supporting the business's regional market position. Technically, the site uses a Mozello CMS platform with multiple third-party JavaScript libraries and Amazon Cloudfront CDN for hosting. The site is mobile-optimized and includes cookie consent and privacy policy pages, indicating basic compliance with GDPR requirements.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

The company operates in a niche market supplying specialized measurement instruments primarily from reputable German and European brands. Its business model combines B2B and B2C sales with consultation and delivery services. The presence of privacy and terms pages, along with contact details, supports a professional approach. The company appears to have a stable local presence but lacks visible certifications or broader partnerships. The website content and structure suggest a focus on quality and customer service rather than aggressive marketing or expansion. The use of multiple tracking and engagement tools indicates some investment in digital marketing and customer interaction.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure login and registration forms, which is positive. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts and CDNs is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with additional measures and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update all third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS usage.
  5. Incorporate CAPTCHA or other bot protection mechanisms on login and registration forms to prevent automated attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Mozello CMS platform and uses a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Fancybox, and Bannerplay. Hosting is via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, which supports good performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized and includes responsive video support. SEO is basic with canonical links and meta viewport tags present. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, along with engagement tools like Smartarget WhatsApp and Engaga. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Technical debt appears low but security enhancements are recommended.
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.
