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

APELSĪNS is a Latvian retail shopping center established in 2009, offering a wide range of stores and services including food, clothing, pharmacy, electronics, hobbies, beauty care, and dining options. The website targets families and local shoppers, providing clear navigation and a professional online presence. The business model centers on leasing retail spaces and providing customer services within the shopping center. Technically, the website uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap 4, and Google Maps API, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear content and navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and basic form validation, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is supported by a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, though terms of service and incident response information are absent. Overall, the website is trustworthy and legitimate, with a stable domain registration and transparent contact information.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      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';…

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

APELSĪNS holds a regional market position in Ādaži, Latvia, serving as a medium-sized shopping center with a diverse tenant mix. Its competitive advantage lies in the variety of retail and service offerings under one roof, targeting everyday and special occasion needs. Revenue streams likely include rental income from tenants and possibly advertising opportunities. The target customer segment includes local families and residents seeking convenient shopping and dining. The company maintains active social media channels on Facebook and Instagram, enhancing customer engagement. The website content and structure support the business operations effectively, though there is room for improvement in legal and security disclosures. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. Form validation is implemented via jQuery Validate, reducing input risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and cross-site scripting risks. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could affect DNS integrity. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact channels are not provided, which may delay handling of security incidents. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform utilizing a modern JavaScript technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4, Owl Carousel, and Google Maps API. The site is mobile responsive and uses various UI enhancement libraries such as Summernote and WickedPicker. Performance is moderate, with multiple external resources loaded from Google Fonts and other CDNs. SEO is basic with meta tags present but limited Open Graph data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but domain registration is stable and long-standing. The site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could be improved with enhanced security and SEO practices.
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.
