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

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 positions itself as a leading shoe restoration service in Latvia, offering a comprehensive range of services including shoe color restoration, repairs, recoloring, accessory coloring, and exclusive shoe toning. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on retail customers who value quality shoe maintenance. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on local market penetration with an emphasis on craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. The absence of WHOIS data limits verification of business registration details, but the website content and social media presence indicate legitimate operations. The use of Facebook as a primary communication channel suggests a strategy to leverage social media for customer engagement and marketing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication between users and the server. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement in security hardening. No evidence of vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies was found, and no security.txt file is present. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. The use of modern frameworks and lazy loading techniques suggests some attention to performance and security, but further enhancements are recommended to strengthen the security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security communication and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including email and phone number to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor page builder and Bootstrap framework, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It uses jQuery and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and user experience. However, no advanced SEO or accessibility features were detected beyond basic implementation. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and security enhancements. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are notable technical gaps.
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.
