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

GZ AUTO is a Latvian retail company specializing in automotive parts and accessories, serving both businesses and individual consumers. The company operates physical stores and provides an online shopping experience through a linked iStore platform. The website is professionally designed using WordPress CMS and includes multilingual support for Latvian and Russian audiences. The business appears to be a medium-sized regional player with recent expansion activities, such as opening a new store in Rēzekne. Technically, the website employs common JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Slick Carousel, and it enforces HTTPS for secure communications. However, some security best practices such as security headers are not visibly implemented. Privacy and cookie policies are present, indicating a basic level of GDPR compliance, though the cookie consent banner is commented out in the HTML source. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, which slightly reduces trust but the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience.

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

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 targets automotive parts retail in Latvia, focusing on both B2B and B2C segments. Its business model combines physical retail stores with an online presence, leveraging partnerships with related domains such as online.detalas.lv for e-commerce. The presence on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter supports marketing and customer engagement efforts. The company’s market position is that of a growing regional retailer with a focus on expanding its store network. The website content and structure indicate a professional approach to customer communication and brand consistency. Revenue streams likely include direct sales in stores and online orders, supported by delivery services such as Omniva. The partnership with Efumo for website development suggests investment in digital infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure form validation. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit security or incident response policies, and no dedicated contact channels for security issues were found. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with a privacy policy and cookie policy available. The commented-out cookie consent banner suggests potential gaps in active user consent management. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a retail website but requiring enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Activate and properly configure the cookie consent banner to ensure active user consent and compliance with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact information for reporting security incidents or vulnerabilities.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, utilizing popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently, though no explicit performance optimization indicators (e.g., lazy loading, CDN usage) were detected. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design evident. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and hreflang attributes for multilingual content. Accessibility is basic, with some semantic HTML but no advanced ARIA roles or landmarks detected. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, indicating moderate user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a regional retail website 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.
