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

Art of Tea is a Latvian-based e-commerce retailer specializing in a wide variety of teas and related products such as gift sets, gift cards, health boosters, and books. The website targets tea enthusiasts and consumers looking for specialty tea products, positioning itself as a niche player in the Latvian retail market. The site is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Owl Carousel, ensuring a responsive and visually appealing interface. However, the absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy and business registration details. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance. Overall, the site appears trustworthy and functional for its business purpose but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

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 business operates as a small retail e-commerce platform focused on specialty teas and related gift products. Its market positioning is niche within Latvia, targeting consumers interested in premium tea experiences and gift purchases. The business model is direct online sales with a catalog segmented by tea types, regions, and health-related products. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and gift card offerings. The website shows consistent branding and clear contact information, supporting customer trust. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. Growth potential exists in expanding product lines and improving digital marketing. The absence of social media links and limited marketing tools suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, which is a critical baseline. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, indicating limited transparency in security incident handling. The site does not display cookie consent banners, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response contacts or security policies are published. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content, the security posture could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, privacy compliance mechanisms, and clear incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness for security events.
  4. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance marketing and social media presence to increase customer engagement and brand visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, Owl Carousel for sliders, and Modernizr for feature detection. The HTML structure is well-formed with meta tags for SEO and mobile viewport settings. Performance appears moderate with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS or backend platform was explicitly detected from the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not available. The site lacks advanced SEO structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags beyond basic meta keywords and description. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts in the provided content, which may limit marketing insights. Overall, the technical implementation supports a good user experience but could be enhanced with richer SEO metadata and analytics integration.
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.
