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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Avis.lv operates as a key regional site for Avis, leveraging the global brand's reputation and infrastructure. The business model focuses on vehicle rental services with diversified offerings including long-term rentals and chauffeur services, catering to both individual and corporate clients. The presence of QuickPass digital check-in and Avis Preferred loyalty program indicates investment in customer experience and retention. The website's integration with multiple external domains for assets and analytics reflects a mature digital ecosystem. Market positioning is strong within the transportation sector in Latvia, supported by extensive location coverage and multilingual support. The site’s content and structure suggest a medium to large enterprise scale operation with a focus on user convenience and service transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure form validations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. CAPTCHA is disabled but scripts for consent and tracking are present, indicating a balance between user experience and security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Implementing a security.txt file and publishing incident response procedures would improve trust and compliance. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Enable CAPTCHA or other bot mitigation on login and booking forms to prevent automated abuse.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with Handlebars.js templating and Globalize.js for localization. It integrates Bing Maps API for location services and Tealium for tag management and analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. Performance appears moderate with deferred loading of CSS and JavaScript assets. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The technical implementation supports a robust booking system with multiple forms and validation mechanisms. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement additional SEO optimizations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly car rental platform.
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.
