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

Elize.lv is a Latvian-based e-commerce website specializing in the sale of yarns, fabrics, laces, knitting and sewing needles, bed linen, and sewing accessories. The site targets hobbyists and crafters interested in textile and sewing products. The business operates as a small online retail store with a clear product catalog and multiple categories, serving primarily the Latvian market. The website is well-structured with good navigation and product organization, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the site is built on Ruby on Rails, uses Amazon Cloudfront CDN for asset delivery, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and marketing purposes. The site employs HTTPS and standard security measures such as CSRF tokens, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance 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

8 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

  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

      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
  • 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, focusing on textile and sewing products. It leverages known yarn and accessory brands, indicating established supplier relationships. The product range is diverse, covering multiple categories such as knitting needles, fabrics, and home textiles, appealing to a broad crafting audience. The website's use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager suggests an interest in marketing optimization and user behavior analysis. However, the absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company appears to be a small-sized local player without visible parent or subsidiary relationships. Growth opportunities include improving transparency, expanding contact channels, and enhancing privacy compliance to build stronger customer confidence.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure data transmission. CSRF tokens are implemented, indicating protection against cross-site request forgery attacks. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve defense against clickjacking and XSS attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site lacks published security policies or incident response information, which are important for transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish terms of service and security incident response information to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Include clear and verifiable contact information such as company email addresses and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure optimal performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Ruby on Rails, indicated by asset paths and use of turbolinks. It uses Amazon Cloudfront as a CDN for static assets, improving load times and scalability. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and product categorization. Performance appears moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing asset delivery and caching. Accessibility features are basic, with room for enhancement to meet higher standards. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS was explicitly detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from additional security and privacy 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.
