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

Ekspresis.lv is a Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in office and household products, operating since 2000. The website targets both business and home consumers within Latvia, offering a broad range of categories including stationery, cleaning supplies, food items, and more. The company presents clear contact information and company registration details, supporting its legitimacy and local market presence. Technically, the site is built on the OpenCart CMS platform and uses a variety of JavaScript libraries, some of which are outdated, potentially exposing security risks. The site employs HTTPS and includes privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, indicating compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers and the use of older JavaScript libraries suggest areas for security improvement. Overall, the website is functional, professionally designed, and trustworthy, but would benefit from technical updates and enhanced security practices.

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. 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

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 as a small-sized retail e-commerce entity focused on the Latvian market. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence since 2000 and a comprehensive product offering for office and household needs. Revenue streams are likely derived from direct online sales. The target customers include local businesses and individual consumers seeking convenience in purchasing everyday supplies online. The company maintains partnerships with local service providers and advertising networks such as Google Adsense. The website's clear structure and contact transparency support customer trust and retention. Growth opportunities may include modernization of the technical stack and expansion of digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which help mitigate common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) is a notable vulnerability that could be exploited. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with cookie consent and a privacy policy page. Overall, the site is functional but requires updates to libraries and implementation of security best practices to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user data control options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OpenCart CMS platform, utilizing several JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.7.1, jQuery UI 1.8.16, Nivo Slider, and Colorbox. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Adsense, Facebook SDK, and Quantcast for analytics and advertising. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, but lacks modern security headers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. The site structure is clear and navigation is user-friendly. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security best practices, suggesting modernization opportunities to improve security and performance.
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.
