53/100

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

BMW Latvia operates as the official representative and dealership for BMW vehicles in Latvia, managed by Inchcape Motors Latvia. The website offers comprehensive information on new and used BMW cars, electric vehicles, servicing, accessories, and test drive bookings, targeting Latvian customers interested in premium automotive products. The digital infrastructure is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern web technologies and performance monitoring tools, ensuring a responsive and professional user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not detected, indicating room for compliance improvement. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but branding and linked partner domains support legitimacy.

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 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

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

BMW Latvia holds a strong market position as the official BMW dealer in Latvia, focusing on premium automotive sales and services. The business model revolves around direct sales, aftersales services, and digital engagement through an online store and connected services. Partnerships with local entities like bravo-auto.lv and the parent company Inchcape Motors Latvia enhance market reach. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear navigation and targeted offers. Growth indicators include promotion of electric vehicles and digital services, aligning with industry trends. The ecosystem includes official BMW digital platforms and customer support channels, reinforcing brand trust and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern TLS protocols, and integration of consent management for cookies. Security headers are likely implemented, and no sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries are detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks visible privacy policy documentation. Overall, the site is secure for users but would benefit from enhanced security communication and formalized incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page prominently linked on the website.
  2. Add a clearly accessible terms of service page to improve legal transparency.
  3. Provide explicit security incident response contact details and procedures.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file for responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance data protection officer contact information to comply with GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, combined with modern JavaScript frameworks and performance optimization tools like Baqend SpeedKit and Akamai mPulse. The infrastructure supports responsive design, accessibility features, and SEO best practices. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. The technical implementation is solid with no visible errors or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve compliance documentation and security transparency. Technical risks are minimal, with good performance and modern standards adherence.
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.
