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

Animu.lv is a Latvian e-commerce platform specializing in pet supplies and veterinary pharmacy services. The website offers a wide range of products for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, including food, health supplements, and accessories. The company emphasizes fast delivery and friendly service, targeting pet owners primarily in Latvia. The site integrates veterinary clinic services and multiple physical veterinary pharmacy locations, indicating a hybrid business model combining online retail with offline services. The platform leverages popular premium brands and promotes special offers to attract customers. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing common plugins and libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and various marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and features a modern design with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security policies or incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and structure suggest a legitimate and professional operation. Overall, animu.lv presents a solid e-commerce presence in the pet retail sector in Latvia, with good business credibility and technical implementation. Enhancements in privacy policy transparency, security headers, and incident response documentation would further strengthen its security posture 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.

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

12 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Animu.lv operates in the retail sector focusing on pet supplies and veterinary pharmacy services. The company leverages a hybrid business model combining online sales with physical veterinary clinics and pharmacies. Its market positioning is that of a trusted local provider with over 20 years of veterinary experience, offering premium brands and a broad product range. The target customer segment includes pet owners in Latvia seeking quality pet food, health products, and veterinary care. The website's use of multiple marketing and tracking tools indicates an active digital marketing strategy aimed at customer acquisition and retention. The lack of visible parent or subsidiary companies suggests an independent medium-sized business. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its integrated veterinary services and established brand presence in the Latvian market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, security policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts and plugins introduces potential attack surfaces, necessitating regular security audits. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not confirmed and should be implemented to mitigate common web threats. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, limiting external security reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an e-commerce site but could be improved with enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Tiny Slider, and Select2 for UI components. Marketing and analytics integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and PixelYourSite. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some inline CSS and multiple external scripts which could be optimized. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
