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

    • 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

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

  • Network security: 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

Boards.lv holds a solid position in the Latvian extreme sports retail sector, leveraging a niche market with a loyal customer base. The business model combines online and offline sales, enhancing customer reach and service. The company partners with recognized brands and price comparison platforms, indicating strategic alliances to boost market visibility. The product range and detailed categorization reflect a comprehensive inventory catering to diverse customer needs. The absence of explicit terms of service and security policies suggests areas for legal and compliance enhancement. The company’s social media engagement supports brand awareness and customer interaction. Overall, Boards.lv shows signs of steady growth potential and a focused market approach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security baseline with HTTPS encryption, CSRF protection, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an opportunity for strengthening defenses against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and no incident response or security policy pages are published, which could improve transparency and preparedness. The site does not show signs of WAF or security challenge blocking, indicating smooth accessibility. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to complete the legal framework and clarify user agreements.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve customer trust and support accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Flickity carousel, Select2 for enhanced select boxes, FancyBox for media display, and PayPal SDK for payment integration. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading external scripts and images. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang attributes. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce experience but could benefit from modernization and performance tuning.
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.
