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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

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

Berner Latvija positions itself as a regional supplier of industrial and retail products with a comprehensive online catalog. The business model is primarily B2B with some B2C elements, leveraging e-commerce for sales and customer engagement. The company benefits from a strong brand legacy dating back to 1957 and offers a wide product assortment across multiple categories. The website's multi-language support and structured navigation indicate a mature digital presence. Contact information and company details are clearly presented, supporting customer trust. The absence of visible certifications or security policies suggests room for improvement in transparency. The company likely generates revenue through direct product sales and possibly corporate contracts. The use of advanced consent management and analytics tools reflects a focus on compliance and marketing effectiveness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login and registration forms protected by CSRF tokens, and password visibility toggles enhancing user security. The integration of a consent management platform ensures compliance with cookie regulations. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts like Usercentrics and Google Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but would benefit from publishing formal security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement or disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Verify and enhance HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern e-commerce platform, likely SAP Hybris, using jQuery 3.7.1 and Handlebars.js for dynamic content rendering. It integrates Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and supports multiple languages, indicating a mature internationalization strategy. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets and asynchronous script loading. The presence of CSRF tokens and secure password inputs indicates attention to security in form handling. However, some security headers are not explicitly visible and could be improved. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from enhanced security transparency and accessibility improvements.
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.
