Risk levelHigh

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

etools.lv is an e-commerce website specializing in the sale of Makita power tools and related accessories, targeting customers primarily in Latvia. The site positions itself as an official reseller of Makita products, offering a comprehensive catalog of battery-powered and electric tools. The business model is retail-focused, leveraging an online platform to reach construction professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The website content is professional, localized in Latvian, and includes essential business information and social media presence, enhancing customer trust and engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Elementor, and Smart Slider 3. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and other marketing tools for performance tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features, with a moderate performance profile. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, but lacks visible HTTP security headers which could improve its security posture. Forms appear secure, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response information suggests room for improvement in security transparency. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional e-commerce platform with a solid business focus. The main limitation is the unavailability of WHOIS data due to query limits, which restricts full verification of domain registration legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing HTTP security headers, publishing a security policy, and maintaining regular updates to plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

etools.lv operates as a niche e-commerce retailer specializing in Makita power tools within the Latvian market. Its competitive advantage lies in being an official reseller, which supports brand trust and customer confidence. The business targets construction professionals and DIY consumers seeking quality tools. Revenue streams are primarily product sales through the online store. The company maintains an active social media presence on Facebook and YouTube, supporting marketing and customer engagement. The partnership with price comparison site Salidzini.lv indicates strategic marketing efforts. The business appears small in size, founded around 2021, with a focused product catalog and localized content. Growth potential exists through expanding product lines and enhancing digital marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted data transmission. However, the lack of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML source. Forms use secure POST methods, but no explicit anti-CSRF tokens or advanced input validation details are visible. Privacy compliance is addressed with a GDPR-aligned privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. Regular plugin and theme updates are recommended to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, plugins, and themes to reduce risk of exploitation.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

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.
