Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

SIA Centa is a Latvian retail company specializing in office and marking products, including marking guns, labels, and packaging materials. With over 20 years of experience in the Latvian market, the company targets businesses and professionals requiring office supplies. The website presents a clear product catalog and contact information, supporting its market position as a trusted local supplier. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.8.3 and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. While the site is functional and professionally designed, it lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating partial compliance with privacy regulations. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits full trust assessment, but the presence of physical contact details supports 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

10 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Centa operates in the retail sector focusing on office and marking supplies, serving the Latvian market primarily. Its competitive advantages include a broad product range, over two decades of market presence, free delivery, and professional consulting services. The business model is a mix of B2B and B2C sales through an online catalog and physical contact points. The company leverages partnerships with local platforms such as Salidzini.lv and Kurpirkt.lv for visibility. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product catalog and customer service options. However, the lack of visible certifications or advanced privacy compliance may limit expansion into more regulated markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but no explicit security headers detected. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is available, and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. The site does not expose sensitive data visibly, but the lack of modern security best practices and outdated libraries pose risks. Recommendations include upgrading libraries, implementing security headers, and adding privacy compliance features to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy compliance mechanisms to meet GDPR requirements.
  4. Conduct a security audit of all forms and input fields to ensure secure data handling.
  5. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy jQuery 1.8.3 and standard JavaScript for functionality, with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO, but lacks modern accessibility features and mobile optimization is basic. Performance is moderate with no explicit hosting provider identified. The site does not use a known CMS or framework, suggesting a custom or legacy platform. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security headers, presenting modernization opportunities to improve security and user experience.
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.
