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

The website ford.lv represents Inchcape Motors Ford Latvia, the official Ford representative in Latvia. It offers comprehensive information on Ford vehicle models, services including sales, servicing, financing, and accessories. The site targets Latvian consumers interested in Ford vehicles and maintains consistent branding aligned with Ford's global identity. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Tailwind CSS, Stimulus JS, and integrates tracking tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy and terms of service pages. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the overall digital presence and official branding strongly indicate legitimacy. Recommendations include publishing privacy and terms pages, adding security headers, and implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Business context

Business profile

Inchcape Motors Ford Latvia operates as the official Ford dealership and service provider in Latvia, positioning itself as a key player in the automotive transportation sector. Its business model revolves around vehicle sales, after-sales services, financing options, and customer support through FordPass. The company leverages partnerships with regional Ford sites and maintains active social media channels to engage customers. The website's content and structure suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on brand consistency and customer trust. The presence of multiple vehicle models and service options indicates a broad product offering aimed at both passenger and commercial vehicle segments. The company benefits from being part of the larger Inchcape Motors group, enhancing its market credibility and operational scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no evident exposure of sensitive information in the HTML content. It employs consent management scripts indicating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of visible contact emails for incident response also suggests room for improvement in security communication. Overall, the site is secure for general users but could enhance its security maturity by adopting additional best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Ruby on Rails backend with a modern frontend stack including Tailwind CSS for styling and Stimulus JS for interactivity. It integrates third-party libraries such as noUiSlider for UI components and Mapbox GL JS for mapping features. Tracking and analytics are managed via Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for performance with asynchronous script loading. However, there is no detected CMS, and hosting provider details are not evident. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and enhanced SEO metadata. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and user-friendly experience but has opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
