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

Avex.lv is a Latvian retail company specializing in audio and video equipment, including acoustic systems, televisions, headphones, and related accessories. The company operates both an online e-commerce platform and a physical store located in Riga, Latvia. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and provides comprehensive product listings, pricing, and promotional offers. The target audience primarily consists of consumers interested in high-quality audio and video technology products. The business model focuses on direct retail sales supported by an online catalog and marketing via social media and digital advertising platforms. Technically, the website employs a variety of JavaScript libraries and plugins such as jQuery, Font Awesome, Skitter slider, LightSlider, Tooltipster, and others to enhance user experience. It integrates Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring secure communication. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are adequately implemented, although some libraries like jQuery are outdated, which may pose security risks. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publicly disclose security policies or incident response procedures. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain registration analysis, but the presence of clear contact information and physical address supports legitimacy. Overall, Avex.lv presents a trustworthy and professional retail platform with moderate technical maturity and a generally good security posture. Strategic improvements in updating libraries, implementing security headers, and publishing security policies would enhance its security and compliance standing.

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

8 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

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

Avex.lv holds a niche position in the Latvian retail market for audio and video equipment, leveraging both online and physical sales channels. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized product offerings and a well-structured e-commerce platform. Revenue streams are primarily from direct product sales, with marketing supported by digital analytics and social media engagement. The company targets tech-savvy consumers and audiophiles seeking quality sound and video products. Growth indicators include active promotions, new product listings, and a visible social media presence. The partnership ecosystem is limited to standard digital marketing and analytics providers, with no disclosed strategic partners. Operationally, the company maintains clear contact channels and legal compliance documentation, supporting customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The current security maturity of Avex.lv is moderate. The site benefits from HTTPS encryption and cookie consent compliance, which are foundational security and privacy measures. However, the lack of security headers such as CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like XSS and clickjacking. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited if not mitigated. No public security or incident response policies limit transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is indicated by privacy and cookie policies, but no explicit data retention or breach notification details are provided. Overall, the site is functional and reasonably secure but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to improve resilience and customer confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Regularly audit and test the website for vulnerabilities and ensure secure coding practices are followed.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mix of older and modern JavaScript libraries to provide interactive features such as sliders, tooltips, and galleries. The presence of Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager indicates a mature approach to marketing analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted data transmission. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, the use of jQuery 1.8.2 is outdated and may expose the site to security risks. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detectable from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements possible by updating libraries and optimizing scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly e-commerce experience with room for modernization.
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.
