Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website aec.lv represents a small Latvian business specializing in automotive electronics and air conditioning repair services, including chiptuning, DPF filter cleaning, and diagnostics. The company targets vehicle owners and commercial transport operators primarily in the Zemgale region. The site content is in Latvian and provides detailed service descriptions and pricing, indicating a local service-oriented business with over 16 years of experience. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including JavaScript libraries for analytics and advertising, but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indicators beyond a hosting platform reference. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no visible security headers or advanced protections on login forms. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional and moderately trustworthy but would benefit from improved security and privacy practices.

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

13 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. 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

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

aec.lv operates as a specialized automotive service provider focusing on electronic diagnostics and air conditioning maintenance. Its competitive advantage lies in its local expertise, on-site service offerings, and long-standing presence in the market. The business model is service-based with direct customer engagement and contract partnerships with companies. Revenue streams likely come from service fees and on-site repairs. The target customers are individual vehicle owners and commercial fleet operators in Latvia. The website's partnership ecosystem is minimal with no explicit partner domains identified. Growth indicators include a stable customer base and diversified service offerings. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital presence and compliance to improve customer trust and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS usage but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The login form does not show visible anti-CSRF measures or advanced input validation, posing potential risks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating gaps in security governance. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no GDPR-related disclosures or cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS transparency slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to protect user data and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Enhance login form security with CSRF tokens and input validation.
  4. Obtain and publish incident response and security policy information to improve transparency.
  5. Improve WHOIS data availability or provide verified business registration details on the site.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with integration of third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Facebook SDK, and AddThis for social sharing. It appears hosted on a platform associated with 1s.lv, likely a Latvian hosting and CMS provider. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no advanced responsive design or ARIA features detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Technical risks include lack of security headers and potential vulnerabilities in the login form. Modernization opportunities include adopting a modern CMS, improving mobile responsiveness, and implementing structured data for SEO.
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.
