Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Auto-Shop.lv is a Latvian online platform specializing in the sale of quality used cars, offering a comprehensive catalog and leasing options through partnerships with financial institutions. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information, including phone, email, and physical address, enhancing user trust and accessibility. The technical infrastructure leverages common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel, delivering a moderate performance and good user experience. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as missing security headers, indicates gaps in compliance and security posture. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting the ability to fully assess domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences and serves its business purpose effectively but would benefit from enhanced security and 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

10 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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
  • 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-sized transportation sector entity focused on used car sales and leasing facilitation in Latvia. It targets local consumers seeking used vehicles and financing options. The business model is an online marketplace with leasing partnerships, evidenced by testimonials from known financial institutions. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and moderate trust indicators through social media and contact transparency. Growth potential exists through improved digital compliance and security enhancements. The partnership ecosystem includes notable Latvian leasing companies, strengthening market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but lacks explicit security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, privacy policies, and conduct regular vulnerability assessments to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and enhance user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish security contact information to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, Lightbox, Owl Carousel, and Chosen plugins to deliver a responsive and interactive user interface. The HTML structure is valid and supports mobile devices well. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or lightweight platform. No hosting provider information was identified. Technical debt appears low but the lack of security headers and privacy compliance indicates areas for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
