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

Bardahl.lv represents the official Bardahl brand in Latvia, specializing in automotive chemicals, engine oils, lubricants, and additives. The company, SIA GL Oils, leverages a long-standing history dating back to 1939 and positions itself as a trusted supplier endorsed by leading European car manufacturers. The website is designed to serve automotive professionals and consumers seeking high-quality automotive chemical products. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern libraries such as jQuery and FontAwesome, supporting multilingual content in Latvian and Russian. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks some advanced accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and privacy/cookie policies indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust analysis. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would 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

9 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 in the transportation sector, focusing on retail and distribution of automotive chemical products. Its market position as the official Bardahl representative in Latvia and endorsement by European automotive brands provide competitive advantages. The business model centers on product sales and possibly service offerings such as DPF cleaning equipment. The target customers include automotive service providers and vehicle owners. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and offers a curated product catalog. Growth potential exists through expanding product lines and digital presence. Partnerships appear limited to Bardahl brand affiliation. The website content and structure support a medium-sized business with a professional approach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses standard WordPress security practices. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. No forms or input fields on the homepage reduce attack surface but also limit user interaction. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the business to GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate with opportunities for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to facilitate security issue reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 with jQuery 3.7.1 and FontAwesome for icons, indicating a modern but common technology stack. The presence of WPML plugin supports multilingual content management. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain, suggesting self-hosted resources. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by CSS and layout choices. SEO is addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data describing the website and products. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy mechanisms, which are technical debt areas. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content.
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.
