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

Bronte is a Latvian-based e-commerce retailer specializing in high-quality Sicilian food products, particularly chocolate combinations. The website targets Latvian consumers seeking premium specialty foods and operates on a WordPress WooCommerce platform. The business appears to be a small-sized niche retailer founded around 2018, with a consistent brand presence and active social media channels on Facebook and Instagram. Technically, the site uses modern e-commerce plugins and SEO tools, but lacks some advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, but missing explicit privacy and cookie policies reduce compliance confidence. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security hardening.

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

    • High

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

Bronte occupies a niche retail market focused on importing and selling premium Sicilian delicacies in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in offering exclusive products from Sicilian producers combined with dark and white chocolate. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging WooCommerce for online sales. The target audience is Latvian consumers interested in gourmet food products. The company maintains active social media engagement, which supports brand awareness and customer interaction. Growth potential depends on expanding product range and improving digital marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a visible privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is reasonably secure but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and all plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimizations to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce as the e-commerce framework. It uses popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, RevSlider for visual content, and YITH WooCommerce extensions for enhanced shopping features. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and Select2 for UI enhancements. The site loads resources from trusted CDNs like Cloudflare and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. The absence of advanced security headers and incomplete privacy compliance are technical debt areas. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for small e-commerce sites but could benefit from modernization and security enhancements.
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.
