Risk levelHigh

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

Ariols is a small Latvian company specializing in traditional food products such as pelmeni, vareniki, pankūkas, čebureki, and semi-finished products. The company targets general consumers interested in quick and tasty traditional cuisine. The website is built on Joomla! CMS using common frontend libraries like jQuery, Bootstrap, and UIkit, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity. The site design is good with clear navigation and multilingual support, though mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. Security posture is weak due to lack of visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, which raises compliance concerns. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and safe but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 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
      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 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"

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

The company operates in the retail and manufacturing sectors focused on food products. Its market position appears local or regional within Latvia. The business model revolves around producing and selling traditional Eastern European food items. The website references a partner for website development but no other partnerships or subsidiaries are evident. The absence of analytics and tracking tools suggests minimal user data collection, aligning with a small business profile. Growth indicators and detailed financial or operational data are not available from the site content.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. The website lacks critical security headers and does not demonstrate HTTPS enforcement in the provided content. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating potential GDPR non-compliance. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response mechanisms. The absence of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks but also limits insights into user behavior. The company should prioritize implementing HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies to improve security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with HSTS to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact information.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla! CMS with frontend technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, UIkit, and Widgetkit. The design is visually appealing but mobile responsiveness and accessibility are basic. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal data collection. The site performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. No hosting provider information is available from the content. The absence of security headers and HTTPS enforcement details suggests technical debt in security implementation. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security practices and improving 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.
