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

Ceno.lv is a Latvian price comparison website that enables users to search and compare product prices across more than 600 Latvian online stores. The platform offers a comprehensive catalog of products including electronics, cosmetics, and household items, with features such as wishlists and sponsored product listings. The website targets Latvian consumers seeking the best deals and convenient shopping experience. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS with Tailwind utilities, and structured data for SEO enhancement. It supports social login via Google and Facebook, and uses HTTPS with CSRF protection on forms, indicating a reasonable security posture. However, explicit privacy policies and contact information are not clearly presented, and WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting full domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site appears professional and functional with moderate risk.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Ceno.lv operates in the e-commerce sector as a price comparison service, aggregating product offers from numerous Latvian online retailers. Its business model relies on affiliate links and sponsored product placements. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive product catalog and localized focus on the Latvian market. The target audience includes tech-savvy Latvian shoppers looking for price transparency and convenience. The website's partnerships with multiple stores, including agrolatvija.lv, suggest a solid ecosystem. Growth potential exists through expanding product categories and improving privacy and security transparency. The absence of detailed company registration or contact info online may be a minor barrier to trust for some users.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced, CSRF tokens in forms, and social login integrations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially indicated by cookie consent mechanisms but lacks a clear privacy policy. Overall, the site is moderately secure but could improve by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page linked in the website footer to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with HTML5, CSS (likely Tailwind CSS), and JavaScript. It incorporates web fonts and SVG icons for visual appeal. Carousels and sliders are implemented using Splide.js. Google Analytics is integrated via a helper script for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and alternate language versions. Forms include CSRF tokens and password visibility toggles, indicating attention to user experience and security. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in security headers and privacy disclosures.
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.
