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

5 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google APIs, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

  • 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

The business positions itself as the largest board games store in Latvia, catering to families, children, and adult enthusiasts. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce via Shopify, supported by various third-party apps for marketing, shipping, and customer reviews. The integration of multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and sales optimization. The absence of explicit contact details and WHOIS data limits full verification of business legitimacy but the professional presentation and use of reputable services suggest a credible operation. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on retail and e-commerce sectors.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses cookie consent banners aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a good baseline security posture. Multiple third-party scripts are loaded, which increases the attack surface but no known vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML. The lack of a published security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program reduces transparency and preparedness from a security governance perspective. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but could enhance trust by publishing security-related policies and contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for incident response and abuse reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Empire theme, with extensive use of third-party apps and scripts for marketing, analytics, and customer engagement. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, leveraging Shopify's CDN and infrastructure. Some technical debt may exist due to numerous third-party integrations, which should be monitored for security and performance impacts. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust e-commerce experience with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
