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

The website www.handmadelatgola.lv represents a small cultural tourism business focused on showcasing modern Latgale artisanal crafts, providing exclusive lodging, and hosting cultural events in Latvia. Founded in 2019, the business offers over 200 handcrafted items in a home-like setting and organizes notable summer events such as the 'Mājas kafejnīcu dienas' and saxophone duet concerts. The site targets tourists and local enthusiasts interested in Latgale's cultural heritage. Technically, the website is built on the Webnode platform, hosted via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and uses modern web technologies including JavaScript and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks important security headers and privacy compliance documentation. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, but the domain appears consistent with the business's stated founding date and purpose. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

8 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

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

Handmade Latgola operates in a niche cultural tourism segment within Latvia, leveraging local artisanal crafts and event hosting to attract visitors. The business model combines product exhibition, accommodation services, and event management, supported by ELFLA funding. The company appears small in size with a focused regional market. The website content and event promotion indicate active engagement with the community and potential for growth in cultural tourism. The absence of detailed corporate information and WHOIS data limits deeper business intelligence. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The use of Webnode suggests a cost-effective digital presence suitable for small enterprises.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and uses a reputable CDN provider for hosting. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating gaps in compliance with GDPR and best practices. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, which may involve user tracking without explicit consent mechanisms visible. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to align with modern security standards and privacy regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce security or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webnode CMS platform, leveraging Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery, which supports good availability and performance. The tech stack includes standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with Google Tag Manager integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. However, the absence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies suggests limited technical complexity. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The lack of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. Overall, the infrastructure is suitable for a small business but should be enhanced for scalability and security.
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.
