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

HobbySet.lv is a Latvian retail and wholesale e-commerce platform specializing in art supplies, crafts, and hobby materials. The website offers a wide range of products for artists, hobbyists, and children, including painting, drawing, crafting, and decorative items. It maintains a strong local market presence with both physical and online stores, supported by active social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The business model focuses on serving retail customers and wholesale clients, providing comprehensive product categories and educational blog content to engage its audience. Technically, the website uses modern front-end technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design and integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were identified, and performance is moderate. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating basic GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and employs cookie consent for tracking scripts, but lacks visible advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and structure appear consistent with a legitimate retail business. Overall, HobbySet.lv presents a professional and trustworthy online presence for art and hobby supplies in Latvia, with room for improvement in security best practices and transparency regarding incident response. The risk level is moderate, and strategic enhancements in security headers and domain registration transparency are recommended.

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 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

HobbySet.lv operates in the retail sector, targeting artists, hobbyists, students, and wholesale customers primarily in Latvia. The company leverages a multi-channel business model combining physical retail and online sales. Its extensive product catalog and educational blog content provide competitive advantages by catering to diverse customer needs and fostering community engagement. The presence on major social media platforms supports brand visibility and customer interaction. While the company appears established and medium-sized, lack of explicit company registration details and WHOIS data limits deeper business intelligence. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms but no direct payment or logistics partners were identified from the data. Growth indicators include active content updates and a broad product range. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing digital trust and security to support further market expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented for marketing and analytics scripts, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which may hinder timely handling of security incidents. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces potential privacy risks if not regularly audited. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by privacy and cookie policies, but more comprehensive transparency and security controls would strengthen the security culture. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a retail e-commerce site but requires improvements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web threats.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy and security risks.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed data retention policies and user rights information.
  5. Obtain and publish verified WHOIS domain registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and slick carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for data collection and Facebook Pixel for marketing and retargeting. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO meta tags. No CMS or backend platform was identified from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, likely due to the extensive product catalog and multiple external scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is an opportunity to improve technical infrastructure by adding security headers, optimizing script loading, and enhancing accessibility compliance. No critical technical debt or risks were detected from the provided data.
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.
