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

Gastrolux.lv is an e-commerce website primarily focused on retailing orthopedic pillows, mattresses, wool products, and kitchenware under brands such as Matherm, Gastrolux BIOTAN, and SQUALITY BIOTAN. The company targets consumers seeking orthopedic and wool-based comfort products as well as kitchen utensils. The website is built on Joomla CMS with VirtueMart for e-commerce functionality, leveraging modern web technologies including Bootstrap and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The site demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with good content quality and user experience, though some technical and security enhancements are recommended. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CAPTCHA usage but lacks visible security headers and a comprehensive privacy policy. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust assessment. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professionally maintained, serving a niche retail market in Latvia.

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

      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

Gastrolux operates in the retail and manufacturing sector, focusing on orthopedic and wool products alongside kitchenware. The business model combines manufacturing and direct online sales. The website shows clear product categorization and stock availability, indicating active inventory management. Contact information and social media presence support customer engagement. The absence of WHOIS data limits external verification, but the site content and contact details align with a small Latvian business. No major partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the site. The company leverages Joomla and VirtueMart, suggesting a cost-effective and flexible e-commerce solution suitable for small to medium enterprises.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect forms from automated abuse. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The login form uses standard protections but could benefit from multi-factor authentication. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended HTTP headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and maintaining up-to-date CMS and extensions.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly outlining data handling and GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all extensions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user authentication mechanisms, potentially adding multi-factor authentication for user accounts.

Technical notes

Notes

Gastrolux.lv uses Joomla CMS with VirtueMart for e-commerce, supported by Bootstrap 3 and jQuery libraries. The site loads Google Fonts and uses FontAwesome icons. Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise is integrated for form security. The site is mobile responsive with a boxed layout and sticky header. Performance is moderate with some inline and external CSS and JavaScript. Accessibility features are basic, with tooltips and form validation present. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags but no structured JSON-LD data found. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for small to medium e-commerce sites but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
