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

BMV.lv is a Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in tools and power tools, targeting both consumers and professionals within Latvia. The website offers a broad range of products including battery-powered tools, electric tools, measurement instruments, pneumatic tools, garden equipment, ventilation, heating, and household products. The business model is focused on online retail with additional services such as tool rental. The site content is primarily in Latvian and provides clear contact information, including phone, email, and physical address, supporting its credibility as a local business. Technically, the website employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.3.2 and includes Google Analytics for user tracking. While HTTPS is enabled, the site lacks modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which may expose it to security risks. The site’s performance and mobile optimization are basic, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices like HTTPS usage but lacks advanced security headers and uses outdated libraries, which could be exploited. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, indicating potential gaps in security maturity. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance, but they are basic in scope. Overall, BMV.lv appears to be a legitimate small Latvian retail business with a functional but dated website. Strategic improvements in security, technical modernization, and enhanced privacy compliance would strengthen its digital maturity and trustworthiness.

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

    • 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

    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"

      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

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

BMV.lv operates in the retail sector, focusing on tools and power tools within the Latvian market. Its competitive advantage lies in a wide product range and localized service including tool rental. The business model is e-commerce retail, targeting both individual consumers and professionals. Revenue streams likely come from direct product sales and rental services. The website’s extensive product categorization suggests a mature inventory management system. However, the lack of social media presence and limited marketing tools may constrain growth. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. The company maintains clear contact channels and basic compliance documentation, supporting operational transparency.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is moderate but shows areas for improvement. HTTPS is implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.3.2) is a significant vulnerability that could be exploited. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, and no abuse or security contact emails are provided. Privacy policies exist and indicate GDPR compliance, but cookie consent mechanisms could be enhanced. Overall, the site lacks advanced security controls and formalized incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed cookie management options and transparent data retention policies.
  5. Improve website technical infrastructure focusing on mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO to increase user engagement and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.3.2, which is outdated and poses security risks. It integrates Google Analytics via the older ga.js script, indicating moderate analytics capabilities. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. The HTML structure is basic with inline styles and some deprecated attributes, suggesting technical debt. Mobile optimization is basic, with viewport meta tag present but no advanced responsive design frameworks detected. No modern CMS or frameworks are identified. Performance is moderate but could be improved by updating technology stack and optimizing assets. Accessibility features are minimal, and SEO practices are basic with meta description and keywords present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected.
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.
