Risk levelHigh

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

SIA SV AUTOHOF is a Latvian automotive company with a 25-year market presence, offering a comprehensive range of services including new and used car sales, repairs, spare parts, rentals, and towing. The website reflects a medium-sized business with a focus on customer service and a broad service portfolio. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with VirtueMart e-commerce components, using standard web technologies like jQuery and Google Fonts. While the site is accessible and uses HTTPS, it lacks advanced security headers and privacy policies, indicating room for improvement in security and compliance. Overall, the site is functional and professional but could benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

    • 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

  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

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 company targets vehicle owners and entrepreneurs in Latvia, providing automotive sales and services with additional offerings such as credit programs and vehicle registration assistance. The business model is retail and service-oriented with a local market focus. The website content and contact details support the legitimacy and operational transparency of the business. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, and no security frameworks are referenced. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks but also limiting business intelligence capabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with basic security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Regularly update Joomla and VirtueMart components to address known vulnerabilities and maintain security.
  4. Consider adding an incident response contact or security@ email to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with VirtueMart for e-commerce functionality, supported by jQuery and CSS3 animations. The site loads Google Fonts and some external scripts but does not include analytics or tracking services. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No hosting provider information is discernible from the HTML content. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized business websites but would benefit from 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.
