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

Biotude.lv is a Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in organic and natural cosmetics, offering a wide range of products including hair care, face care, body care, decorative cosmetics, and health-related items. The company operates under the legal entity SIA "LD Stels" and targets general consumers interested in eco-friendly and vegan cosmetic products. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact information, supporting a positive user experience. The business maintains an active presence on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, enhancing customer engagement and trust. Technically, the website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform and integrates multiple modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager. The site uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a reasonable level of privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. Security headers are not fully implemented, suggesting room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security maturity. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site appears legitimate and trustworthy based on content and business information. The overall risk assessment is moderate with recommendations to enhance security headers, publish security policies, and implement vulnerability disclosure to improve trust and compliance. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or explicit content detected.

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.

Priority findings

10 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Security headers

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

Business profile

Biotude.lv operates in the niche market of organic and natural cosmetics retail in Latvia, leveraging a focused product catalog and recognized brands such as Natura Siberica and Beauty Jar. The business model is e-commerce with direct online sales. Competitive advantages include a clear focus on eco-friendly and vegan products, a localized Latvian language site with multilingual support, and integration with popular Latvian advertising platforms. Revenue streams are primarily from product sales. The target customer segment includes environmentally conscious consumers and those seeking natural cosmetic alternatives. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and regular product updates. Partnerships with price comparison and advertising platforms like Salidzini.lv and Kurpirkt.lv support market visibility. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise with consistent branding and professional presentation.

Security posture

The security posture of biotude.lv is moderate. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications, and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No security policy or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which are best practices for responsible vulnerability management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable analytics and marketing tools is noted, but regular updates and monitoring of third-party libraries are recommended to mitigate risks. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform, a popular choice for e-commerce in Eastern Europe, indicating a mature and stable infrastructure. The tech stack includes jQuery and various analytics and marketing scripts such as Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, enabling detailed user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The site loads moderate amounts of JavaScript and CSS, with some caching mechanisms in place. Mobile optimization is good, supporting responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Performance is moderate, with no critical issues detected. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
