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

gribeni.lv is a Latvian local services directory website designed to help users find local businesses and services across Latvia. The platform offers categorized listings, customer reviews, business contact details, and maps to facilitate easy discovery of trusted local providers. The website targets local residents and customers seeking various services, positioning itself as a niche directory within the Latvian market. The business model revolves around providing an online platform for local businesses to be listed and reviewed, potentially monetized through advertising such as Google Adsense. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, FontAwesome icons, Leaflet.js for mapping, and Google Adsense for advertising. The site shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility features but lacks advanced SEO and performance optimizations. There is no detected CMS or hosting provider information. The website loads several external scripts, including one from a suspicious domain (s14a.biz), which may warrant further investigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS for external resources but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no cookie consent mechanism despite having a privacy policy page, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Contact information is available primarily through business listings, with multiple phone numbers and physical addresses provided, but no direct company email addresses were found. Overall, gribeni.lv appears to be a legitimate small-scale local business directory focused on the Latvian market. However, improvements in security headers, privacy compliance (cookie consent), and technical optimizations are recommended to enhance trustworthiness and user experience. The lack of WHOIS transparency slightly reduces domain trust but does not indicate malicious intent based on site content.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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';…

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

gribeni.lv operates as a local business directory platform serving the Latvian market. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a centralized place for local service discovery with customer reviews and detailed business information. The business model likely includes advertising revenue, as evidenced by Google Adsense integration. The target customers are local consumers and businesses seeking visibility. Growth indicators include a broad range of service categories and recent activity updates. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes links to various business websites. Strategic observations suggest the site could expand by improving privacy compliance and enhancing technical infrastructure to attract more users and advertisers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy compliance indicators poses regulatory risks under GDPR. External scripts include a suspicious domain (s14a.biz), which could be a vector for security concerns. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement standard security headers, improve privacy compliance, and audit third-party scripts for safety.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, ensuring transparent user consent for tracking and cookies.
  3. Conduct a security audit of all third-party scripts, especially the one loaded from s14a.biz, to eliminate potential malicious code or tracking.
  4. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience and SEO performance.
  5. Establish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, including a security contact email or page, to build trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, FontAwesome for icons, Leaflet.js for map functionality, and Google Adsense for monetization. The site lacks a detectable CMS and appears custom-built or static. Performance is moderate with some broken or hidden images indicating minor technical debt. SEO is basic with meta description present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility and mobile optimization are basic but could be improved. The presence of external scripts from a suspicious domain is a technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization, performance tuning, and security hardening.
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.
