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

Gandrs is a well-established retail company specializing in tourism and sports equipment, operating primarily in the Baltic States. The website offers a comprehensive e-commerce platform with a wide product range including cycling, apparel, footwear, outdoor equipment, climbing gear, winter sports, and sports equipment. The business model includes online sales, product rental, wholesale, and physical stores, positioning Gandrs as a leading player in its market segment with over 25 years of experience and a large product catalog exceeding 6000 items. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as jQuery and WebSocket for interactive features like live chat. The site is well-structured with good SEO practices and mobile optimization, although accessibility features are basic. The performance is moderate, and the site uses HTTPS with a secure SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. From a security perspective, Gandrs demonstrates a solid posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of explicit security headers, cookie consent mechanisms, and published security or incident response policies indicates areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy policies, but the domain and website content appear legitimate and consistent with the business claims. Overall, Gandrs presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. 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. 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';…

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

Gandrs holds a strong market position as the largest tourism and sports equipment retailer in the Baltic region, leveraging a broad product portfolio and multi-channel sales approach including online, rental, wholesale, and physical stores. Its competitive advantages include extensive product selection, long-standing market presence, and customer loyalty programs such as the Gandrs customer card. The target customers are outdoor and sports enthusiasts in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Revenue streams are diversified across direct sales, rentals, and wholesale partnerships. The company maintains an active social media presence and uses self-hosted analytics to monitor user engagement. Growth opportunities lie in expanding digital marketing, enhancing privacy compliance, and improving security transparency to build further trust and customer confidence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and no apparent exposure of sensitive information. The use of WebSocket for chat is implemented securely. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, absence of cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent compliance and security gaps. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but cookie consent is missing. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security headers, privacy consent, and transparency around security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a custom technology stack with jQuery 3.6.1 and custom JavaScript for interactivity, including a WebSocket-based chat system. CSS is used for styling with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. The site is hosted with HTTPS enabled, likely behind Cloudflare or similar CDN given the presence of challenge scripts, although no active WAF blocking was detected. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. SEO is supported by canonical and alternate hreflang tags. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement modern security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
