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

EM Auto is a small Latvian business specializing in the sale of used and new automotive spare parts, vehicle servicing, and car sales. The company operates primarily in Līvāni, Latvia, targeting vehicle owners and automotive service customers. Their website showcases various Toyota models with detailed parts and service offerings, emphasizing diesel engines and mechanical or automatic transmissions. The business has been active since at least 2013 and provides clear contact information including phone numbers, email, and physical address with a Google Maps embed. Technically, the website is built on October CMS and leverages modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and PhotoSwipe for image galleries. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured, though it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. HTTPS is enabled, ensuring secure communication, but security headers are not detected, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. From a security and compliance perspective, the site does not display privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, which are important for GDPR compliance given its Latvian location. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust verification. However, the website content and business information appear consistent and legitimate for a small local automotive service provider. Overall, EM Auto presents a professional and functional online presence with good content quality and business credibility. To enhance trust and compliance, the company should implement privacy and cookie policies, improve security headers, and provide incident response contacts. Regular security audits and WHOIS data monitoring are recommended to maintain domain legitimacy and security posture.

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

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

      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

EM Auto operates in the transportation sector, focusing on automotive spare parts and vehicle servicing. Its competitive advantage lies in offering both used and new parts for popular Toyota models, combined with comprehensive servicing options including brake maintenance, oil changes, and diagnostics. The business model is retail and service-oriented, targeting local customers in Latvia. Revenue streams likely include parts sales and service fees. The company maintains a clear contact ecosystem and physical presence, supporting customer trust. Growth indicators are limited but the website's detailed product galleries and service descriptions suggest a customer-focused approach. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of third-party libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap is standard but requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with better header configurations, policy disclosures, and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and establish a vulnerability disclosure process.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve website reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on October CMS, utilizing Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. PhotoSwipe is used for image gallery lightbox functionality. The site loads multiple combined CSS files and scripts, indicating some optimization efforts. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed metrics available. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and layout. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. SEO is basic, with minimal meta description content and no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
