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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company is positioned as a medium-sized retail and service provider in the landscaping sector with over 25 years of experience and a strong local presence in Latvia. Its business model combines physical garden center operations with an online shop, targeting both private and commercial customers. The website content and portfolio highlight a broad service offering and a commitment to quality and customer service. The partnership with LATINSOFT for website development indicates professional digital support. The company maintains clear contact channels and legal compliance, supporting customer trust and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent banners, indicating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, the absence of configured Google reCAPTCHA on forms and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas of vulnerability that could expose the site to spam or clickjacking attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced with targeted improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Configure and enable Google reCAPTCHA with a valid sitekey on all forms to prevent spam and abuse.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer confidence.
  4. Regularly update and audit WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, leveraging popular plugins such as Ajax Search Pro and Yoast SEO for enhanced search and SEO capabilities. It uses Google Fonts and jQuery libraries, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile responsive with a moderate performance profile. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are used for UI and form handling. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. There is room for technical modernization by improving security headers and optimizing form spam protection.
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.
