Risk levelMedium

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

COSMETICS NORD is a small-sized private label cosmetics manufacturer based in Latvia, offering premium clean beauty products and custom solutions with flexible minimum order quantities and fast lead times. The company claims 19 years of experience and has received media and celebrity recognition. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, featuring modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for security and analytics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though some security headers are missing and no explicit security policy is published. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent banner present but no privacy policy page found. Contact information is limited to a contact form and LinkedIn profile, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible. WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved transparency and compliance documentation.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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, LinkedIn

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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company operates in the cosmetics manufacturing sector, targeting businesses seeking private label and clean beauty product solutions. Its market position is supported by long experience and international media exposure. The business model is B2B focused on manufacturing and product development. The website supports marketing efforts with Google Ads and tracking tools. However, the lack of visible company registration data and direct contact details may impact trust with potential clients. The company leverages partnerships with media and celebrities to enhance brand credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and HSTS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure reduces overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response readiness and data protection officer information are not available, indicating potential gaps in compliance and security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate security transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and Typekit fonts. Hosting is provided by Squarespace CDN, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site uses valid HTML and CSS with responsive design. However, SEO optimization is basic with some metadata missing or minimal. Accessibility features are present but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and well integrated but could benefit from additional security and compliance 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.
