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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 83 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

    • Medium

      Mixed Content Detected

      2 resources loaded over insecure HTTP

      What to do: Ensure all resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) are loaded over HTTPS

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

Costa operates in the retail and hospitality sectors, focusing on coffee cafes and related services. The business model centers on physical cafe locations and coffee product sales, targeting local consumers in Latvia. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a clear market position as a local coffee chain. The presence of a Coffee Club suggests customer loyalty programs. The company uses Google Analytics and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, contributing to a good security baseline. Cookie consent is implemented via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Boomerang should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with published policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusiveness.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.1, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, and Google Maps API. It uses popular UI libraries like Jssor Slider and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. The site loads scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical resources, indicating performance awareness. Mobile optimization is good with responsive menus and layouts. SEO is basic with meta tags and hreflang attributes for language versions. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for modernization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
