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

Autoparks is a small Latvian used car dealership based in Talsi, offering a variety of used vehicles from popular brands such as Audi, BMW, Volvo, and Volkswagen. The website provides a catalog of cars with detailed listings and contact information, targeting local car buyers. The business operates primarily through retail sales of used vehicles, positioning itself as a regional player in the transportation sector. Technically, the website is built using standard web technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced hosting details. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS is likely used, no security headers or privacy policies are present, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits full domain trust assessment, but the website content and contact details suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

    • 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

      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';…

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 the transportation sector focusing on used car sales, serving customers primarily in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in a diverse inventory of vehicles and clear contact channels. The business model is straightforward retail with a focus on local market penetration. Revenue streams are likely from direct vehicle sales. The website indicates partnerships but no explicit partner domains are listed. Growth indicators are not directly visible, but the presence of a catalog and multiple vehicle listings suggests active inventory management. The company maintains a professional online presence but lacks advanced marketing or analytics tools, which could be leveraged for growth. Strategic observations include the need for improved privacy and security compliance to build greater customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with use of HTTPS assumed but not confirmed. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are present, which could expose the site to common web vulnerabilities. Forms use POST methods but no visible anti-CSRF tokens or input validation indicators are found. There is no privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, reducing readiness for security events. The lack of WHOIS transparency slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant opportunities for improvement in headers, policies, and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify it is active site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and a cookie consent banner.
  3. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common attacks.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance website analytics and marketing tools to better understand user behavior and improve business intelligence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web stack with HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap 4, and jQuery 3.3.1, providing a responsive and mobile-friendly user experience. The site structure is clear with navigation menus and categorized car listings. No CMS or advanced backend technologies are detected from the front-end code. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Accessibility is basic with standard HTML elements but no ARIA roles or advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords but no Open Graph or structured data markup. The site lacks modern security features such as CSP headers or HSTS. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist, especially in security and privacy compliance.
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.
