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

      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

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

Fans.lv holds a strong market position as a medium-sized sports retailer in Latvia, offering a broad product catalog including bicycles, winter sports equipment, apparel, and accessories. The business model combines online sales with physical servicing, enhancing customer value. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales, servicing fees, and financing options such as installment payments via Klix. The company targets local consumers interested in sports and outdoor activities, leveraging brand partnerships and social media engagement to maintain visibility. The integration of payment partners and analytics tools indicates a focus on customer experience and operational efficiency. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding incident response transparency and enhancing security policies to further strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and privacy-conscious analytics configurations. The use of plugins like Stop User Enumeration and cookie consent tools reflects attention to security and privacy. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. Compliance with GDPR is supported by cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and clearer incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications or trust badges to reinforce customer confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, utilizing Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and React for dynamic components. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and Klix Pay Later for payments. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with well-structured metadata and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in loading times and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business scale, though continuous monitoring and updates are essential to maintain security and performance.
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.
