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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

The company operates in the retail sector focusing on balloon decorations and helium balloon sales with 24/7 delivery service. It maintains a localized market presence in Latvia with a Russian language subdomain to cater to a broader audience. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with integrated shopping cart and wishlist features. Social media presence on Instagram and Facebook supports marketing efforts. The domain is newly registered in 2023, consistent with a startup or new business venture.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. Tracking technologies such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are implemented without visible cookie consent mechanisms, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. No privacy or cookie policies were found, which is a significant compliance and trust issue. The site does not disclose any security policies or incident response contacts. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Tilda CMS platform, utilizing Tilda's blocks and zero-block features with extensive use of JavaScript and jQuery libraries. It integrates Google Fonts for typography and uses Tilda's CDN for hosting static assets. The site includes Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with responsive design. There is some technical debt in the form of missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. The domain is registered with Domain.com, LLC and hosted on Tilda's infrastructure.
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.
