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

Face.lv is a Latvian language social networking platform operated by Flirtic Llc, based in Estonia. The platform focuses on photo rating and social interaction, boasting a large user base exceeding 687,000 users and over 1.2 million images. It offers features such as user profiles, messaging, photo rating, horoscopes, and quizzes, targeting social network users interested in interactive photo-based engagement. The business model centers on user-generated content and social connectivity within a regional market. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and third-party marketing tools. Hosting is provided by ratesolutions.eu, and payment processing is handled by Maksekeskus, a trusted partner. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5 seconds and a page size of about 577 KB. Security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, lack of HTTPS, missing security headers, and no modern TLS protocols enabled. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy and terms of service present but no cookie consent mechanism despite active tracking scripts. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and professionally designed but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

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

  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

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

Face.lv holds a strong position as a regional social networking platform with a sizable user base and active engagement features. Its competitive advantage lies in its niche focus on photo rating and social interaction within the Baltic region. The business model leverages user-generated content and social connectivity, likely monetized through advertising and premium features. The partnership with Maksekeskus for payment processing indicates a structured revenue stream. The company operates under Flirtic Llc, an Estonian entity, with transparent contact details and domain registration. Growth indicators include a large number of users and images, and the presence of additional features like horoscopes and quizzes to increase user retention. The marketing ecosystem includes Google Analytics, Facebook, and ShareThis, supporting targeted advertising and user engagement. Strategic observations suggest the need to enhance security and privacy compliance to maintain user trust and comply with regulations.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of Face.lv is low due to critical issues such as the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, which exposes users to data interception risks. The lack of security headers and modern TLS protocols further weakens the security posture. However, the presence of SPF and a strict DMARC policy indicates good email security practices. There is no evidence of incident response policies or security certifications. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism, which may lead to GDPR non-compliance risks. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools without explicit consent mechanisms increases privacy risks. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues, implementation of security headers, and enhancement of privacy compliance to reduce business risk and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce HTTPS.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  6. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels.
  7. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization for better user experience and reach.
  8. Consider obtaining relevant security certifications to enhance trust and credibility.

Notes

Face.lv uses a standard web technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and ShareThis for analytics and social sharing. The site is hosted on infrastructure managed by ratesolutions.eu, with DNS and email configurations properly set including SPF and DMARC. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5 seconds and a page size of 577 KB, which is acceptable but could be optimized. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols is a significant technical debt and security risk. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features, and no CMS is explicitly detected. Payment processing is outsourced to Maksekeskus, indicating a modular approach to financial transactions. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
