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

Hanzas Maiznīca is the largest and most tradition-rich bakery company in Latvia, specializing in the manufacturing and retail of bread and bakery products. The company operates a professional website built on WordPress, showcasing its product range, recipes, and educational content. It is part of the Lantmännen Unibake group, indicating a strong market position and backing by a reputable parent company. The website targets Latvian consumers interested in bakery goods and related culinary content. Technically, the website uses a modern CMS platform with SEO optimization via Yoast SEO, and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. However, some technical improvements are recommended, including updating outdated libraries and implementing stronger security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has basic privacy and cookie policies in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the presence of consistent branding, contact information, and parent company affiliation supports legitimacy. Overall, Hanzas Maiznīca's website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good content quality and business credibility. Strategic enhancements in security headers and updated technical components would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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.

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

    • 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

  2. Security headers

    • High

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

Hanzas Maiznīca holds a leading position in the Latvian bakery market, leveraging its heritage and scale. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and retail distribution of bakery products under multiple brands. The company benefits from its affiliation with Lantmännen Unibake, a major international bakery group, which provides operational and strategic advantages. The website reflects a customer-centric approach with educational content and active social media engagement. Revenue streams likely include wholesale and retail sales, supported by marketing campaigns and promotions visible on the site. The partnership ecosystem includes regional bakery brands in neighboring countries, enhancing market reach and product diversity. Growth indicators include active content updates and digital marketing investments. The company maintains a professional online presence, reinforcing trust and customer loyalty.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.3) may introduce vulnerabilities if exploited. No forms collecting sensitive data were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate risk exposure. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Overall, the site is reasonably secure but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest stable versions to reduce risk from known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed data retention policies and user rights information.
  5. Regularly audit and monitor website security posture and update technical components to maintain resilience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. It uses jQuery 1.11.3, which is outdated and should be upgraded. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics purposes, alongside Facebook Pixel for retargeting. The site loads multiple fonts and stylesheets efficiently and includes a cookie consent script. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site lacks advanced security headers and detailed technical metadata for enhanced security. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized and hardened for improved security and performance.
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.
