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

Autobalta.com is a Latvian-based e-commerce retailer specializing in automotive parts, motor oils, lubricants, tires, batteries, and accessories. The website targets vehicle owners and automotive service providers primarily in Latvia and the Baltic region. Founded in 2019, the company offers fast delivery services and online support via WhatsApp, positioning itself as a regional niche player in automotive retail. The website is multilingual, supporting Latvian, Russian, and English languages, enhancing accessibility for its target audience. Technically, the website is built on the OpenCart platform and leverages common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for analytics and marketing. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with basic SEO and accessibility features. Hosting details are limited but the domain is registered with NameCheap and secured with HTTPS. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protection enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC and does not implement explicit HTTP security headers, which are recommended to enhance security posture. No dedicated security policy or incident response contacts are published, representing an area for improvement. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. Overall, Autobalta.com presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a solid business model and consistent branding. Security and privacy compliance are adequate but could be strengthened by implementing additional technical controls and transparency measures. The risk level is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, making it a reliable platform for its customers.

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. 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. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Autobalta operates as a small-sized e-commerce retailer focused on automotive parts and supplies in Latvia and the Baltic region. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a wide range of automotive products including oils, tires, batteries, and accessories with fast regional delivery and online support. The business model is direct online retail targeting individual vehicle owners and automotive workshops. The website's multilingual support and integration with regional price comparison and shopping platforms (salidzini.lv, kurpirkt.lv) indicate strategic partnerships to enhance market reach. The company appears to be independent with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. Growth indicators include active online presence and use of digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes price comparison sites but no direct payment processor domains were identified. Overall, the business is positioned as a specialized regional retailer with potential for expansion within the Baltic automotive aftermarket.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain has clientTransferProhibited status, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduce the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks if not regularly audited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the site content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OpenCart CMS platform using a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and various soconfig modules for UI and functionality. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK for analytics and marketing purposes. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. The HTML content is valid and well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are technical risks. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is NameCheap. The site uses Google Maps API and Leaflet.js for location services. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small e-commerce site but has room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
