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

Alio.lt is a Lithuanian online classifieds platform providing free advertisement listings across a wide range of categories including real estate, transport, jobs, electronics, and leisure. The website targets the general Lithuanian-speaking public and operates as a marketplace for buying, selling, and trading goods and services locally. It maintains a moderate market position with a significant volume of listings and a user-friendly interface. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads for analytics and advertising, hosted likely behind Cloudflare infrastructure. The website is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, but the site lacks visible security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. WHOIS data is unavailable due to registry query failure, slightly impacting trust but the site shows legitimate business indicators such as privacy policy, terms of service, and contact email. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and functional with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best 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

8 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

      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

Alio.lt operates in the classifieds sector primarily serving Lithuania. Its business model revolves around free ad postings monetized through advertising networks like Google Ad Manager. The platform covers multiple sectors including real estate, transportation, retail, and other consumer goods. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages social media (Facebook) for outreach. The absence of detailed company registration data and WHOIS information limits deeper business verification. However, the volume of listings and category diversity indicate a medium-sized operation with a stable user base. The platform's ecosystem includes partnerships with advertising networks and related sites such as akcijos.lt for promotional content. Strategic growth could focus on enhancing privacy compliance and expanding contact transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are industry best practices. The absence of a cookie consent banner is a compliance gap under GDPR regulations. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party scripts and advertising tags introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be significantly improved by adopting recommended headers, publishing security policies, and implementing explicit user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and demonstrate preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising tags to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Improve WHOIS data availability or transparency to strengthen domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery 3.4.1 and Google Tag Manager for analytics and event tracking. Advertising is managed via Google Ad Manager and DoubleClick with responsive ad slots for desktop and mobile. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging its CDN and security features, although no explicit security headers are detected. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and mobile optimization evident. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for search actions. Accessibility is basic but functional. The site lacks a CMS identification but appears custom-built or heavily customized. Technical debt is minimal but could be reduced by consolidating scripts and improving compliance features.
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.
