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

Dzijas.lv is a Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in a wide range of yarns and knitting accessories, positioning itself as a popular and trusted yarn store in Latvia with over 10 years of experience. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Judge.me for customer reviews and Google Analytics 4 for analytics. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with fast performance, mobile optimization, and proper security configurations including HTTPS and security headers. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy online retail presence with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

6 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

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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 business operates in the retail and e-commerce sector, targeting knitting and crocheting enthusiasts in Latvia. It offers a broad product catalog including various yarn types and knitting tools, emphasizing popular brands and fast delivery. The company maintains active social media channels and customer engagement through reviews. The business model is direct online retail with a focus on local market leadership. Partnerships with Shopify and Judge.me enhance operational capabilities. The absence of detailed company registration data and physical address on the site suggests a small-sized business primarily focused on online sales.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form handling including CAPTCHA protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security policies or incident response information and absence of a vulnerability disclosure page are gaps in security transparency. Privacy compliance could be improved by implementing a cookie consent banner and clearer data handling disclosures. Overall, the site is secure for e-commerce operations but could enhance user trust by publishing more detailed security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact pages with dedicated security contact information such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Regularly audit third-party apps and scripts for security updates and vulnerabilities.

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.
