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

SIA Bidfood Latvia is a medium-sized company operating in the hospitality sector in Latvia, specializing in wholesale food distribution, logistics, and online ordering services for HoReCa businesses. It is part of the international Bidcorp group, which lends it credibility and a strong market position. The website provides clear business information, contact details, and a professional online presence with multilingual support. The company targets professional clients such as hotels, restaurants, and cafes, offering a comprehensive product portfolio and logistics solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, uses token-based authentication for secure login, and is mobile optimized with good navigation and content quality. However, some security best practices such as HTTP security headers are not explicitly detected, and no detailed security or incident response policies are published on the site. The security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking visible advanced security headers. Privacy compliance is basic but includes cookie consent and a privacy policy consistent with GDPR requirements. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust analysis. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with room for security and compliance improvements. Strategic recommendations include enhancing HTTP security headers, publishing clear security and incident response policies, conducting regular vulnerability assessments, and improving accessibility features to meet compliance standards. These steps will strengthen the company's security posture and trustworthiness in the digital domain.

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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Bidfood Latvia holds a strong position in Latvia's HoReCa wholesale food market, leveraging its parent company Bidcorp's global presence. The business model focuses on B2B wholesale distribution with logistics and online ordering capabilities, serving over 1000 loyal clients and 1700 delivery points. The company benefits from a professional brand image, multilingual website, and digital ordering platform integration. Growth indicators include a stable client portfolio and active marketing through brochures and social media. Partnerships with identity providers and solution vendors support operational efficiency. The company could explore expanding digital marketing and enhancing customer engagement through improved analytics and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and token-based authentication for login. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No public security policies or incident response contacts are provided, indicating a gap in transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy show awareness of GDPR but lack detailed data retention and processing disclosures. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhanced controls, documentation, and proactive vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans, especially on authentication endpoints.
  4. Enhance privacy policy details to include data retention and processing specifics for GDPR compliance.
  5. Improve website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern web stack with HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, and Google Analytics/Tag Manager for tracking. The login system integrates with an external identity provider using OAuth2 token flows, indicating a secure authentication design. The site is mobile optimized and includes multilingual support. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are evident. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous script loading. The absence of advanced frameworks or SPA technologies suggests a traditional multi-page architecture. Technical debt appears low but security header omissions and limited accessibility features present modernization opportunities.
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.
