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

Elvi.lv is the official website of SIA ELVI Latvija, a large retail supermarket chain operating in Latvia. The site provides comprehensive information about their stores, promotions, recipes, job vacancies, and loyalty programs, targeting general consumers in Latvia. The business is well-established with a consistent brand presence and clear contact channels. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper, and Tooltipster, along with Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for tracking and marketing. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some lazy loading images have errors that should be addressed. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though it could improve transparency by adding terms of service and incident response information.

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.

Priority findings

10 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

      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

Elvi operates in the retail sector as a supermarket chain in Latvia, serving a broad consumer base with grocery products, promotions, and loyalty incentives. Their business model focuses on physical store presence complemented by digital engagement through recipes and news. The company maintains active social media channels and collects user data via newsletter signups and site analytics. The website reflects a mature digital presence with structured data and marketing integrations. No suspicious or fraudulent indicators are present. The company appears to have a stable market position with a large footprint in Latvia.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses standard security best practices such as cookie consent and secure form handling. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. The presence of third-party scripts (Facebook SDK, Google Analytics) introduces typical tracking risks but no vulnerabilities were detected in the visible code. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Fix broken lazy loading images to improve user experience and trust.
  3. Add a clear terms of service page to improve legal transparency and user trust.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, LazyLoad for images, and Tooltipster for UI tooltips. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for marketing and tracking. The site uses responsive design and Google Fonts for typography. Hosting appears to be provided by online.lv based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with some image loading issues. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies are evident from the HTML source.
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.
