Instabox.lv is a Latvian-based small business specializing in photo booth and event-related services including AI photo booths, 360 spinners, photo mirrors, and traditional photo booths. The website targets event organizers and individuals in Latvia seeking photo and video activity solutions for their events. The business operates primarily in the Latvian market with a focus on delivering innovative and engaging photo experiences. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and Elementor, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is optimized for SEO with structured data and meta tags, and it employs Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security respectively. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and bot protection, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures to improve trust and compliance.

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

  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

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

Instabox.lv holds a niche position in the Latvian event services market, focusing on photo booth rentals and sales with innovative features like AI photo booths and 360-degree spinners. The business model revolves around providing event entertainment solutions with delivery across Latvia. The company leverages social media, particularly Facebook, for marketing and customer engagement. The website's use of SEO and analytics tools suggests an intent to grow its online presence. However, the lack of explicit contact information and formal policies may limit customer trust and conversion. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies, suggesting an independent small business operation. The company’s competitive advantage lies in offering modern photo technology and comprehensive event photo solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communications. Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Include clear and accessible contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA scripts are integrated for analytics and security. The site uses Google Fonts and serves images in WebP format for performance optimization. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly with good navigation clarity. However, no advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The site lacks some security best practices such as security headers and formal policies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
