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

SIA Gandrs operates a well-established e-commerce platform specializing in outdoor, cycling, climbing, winter, and sports equipment primarily serving the Latvian market and the broader Baltic region. With over 25 years of experience and a catalog exceeding 6000 products from more than 100 recognized brands, Gandrs holds a leading market position in the Baltics for active outdoor retail. The website supports multiple languages and offers additional services such as rentals, wholesale, and workshops, enhancing customer engagement and business diversification. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery 3.6.1, asynchronous script loading, and WebSocket-based chat functionality, hosted likely behind Cloudflare for performance and security. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial; while a comprehensive privacy policy is present, there is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. Contact information is clearly provided, including phone, email, and social media channels, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

9 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 is positioned as the largest active outdoor equipment retailer in the Baltic states, leveraging a broad product catalog and multi-channel sales approach including online retail, physical stores, rentals, and wholesale. Its competitive advantages include long-standing market presence, extensive brand partnerships, and expert customer support. Revenue streams likely derive from direct sales, rentals, and wholesale distribution. The target customer segments are outdoor enthusiasts, cyclists, climbers, and winter sports participants primarily in Latvia and neighboring countries. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with over 100 brands and regional sister websites for Lithuania and English-speaking markets. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for enhancing privacy compliance and security transparency to further strengthen customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, no visible sensitive data leakage, and use of modern JavaScript loading techniques that reduce risk. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options represents a minor gap. No incident response or security policy is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the HTML content or scripts. The use of Cloudflare likely provides additional DDoS and bot protection. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing security policies, incident response contacts, and implementing cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Consider creating and hosting a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 3.6.1 and custom JavaScript files loaded asynchronously and deferred for performance optimization. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including canonical links and hreflang tags for multilingual support. Performance is moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were found. The chat feature uses WebSocket technology for real-time communication. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well implemented with opportunities for further enhancement in accessibility and security headers.
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.
