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

INSTRUMENTU NAMS is a Latvian retail business specializing in the sale of a wide range of tools and equipment including electric tools, hand tools, measuring instruments, garden and forest machinery, spare parts, and repair services. The website targets both consumers and professionals in Latvia, offering products from well-known brands and providing additional services such as warranty registration and repairs. The business operates primarily as a local retailer with a focus on quality and variety. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Splide for interactive elements like sliders. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic SEO and accessibility features. However, there is no detected CMS or advanced platform, indicating a custom or simple site structure. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and privacy-related policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No forms or sensitive data collection points were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate risk. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the website content and branding appear consistent with a legitimate retail business. Overall, the site presents a good user experience with clear product categories and brand partnerships but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

INSTRUMENTU NAMS operates in the retail sector focusing on tools and machinery, serving a niche market of tool users in Latvia. The company leverages partnerships with reputable brands such as Bosch, Makita, Stihl, and others to strengthen its market position. The business model combines product sales with value-added services like repairs and warranty registrations, which can drive customer loyalty. The presence of multiple language options (Latvian, English, Russian) indicates an intent to serve a broader regional audience. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site suggests a small to medium-sized enterprise with a local focus. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital presence, adding e-commerce capabilities, and improving compliance and security to build customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to common web attacks. No forms or input fields are present on the homepage, reducing attack surface, but the lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, which limits domain trust verification. No evidence of malware or phishing was found. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, privacy policies, and regular vulnerability assessments.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish a visible contact email and physical address to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to demonstrate security maturity and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with jQuery 3.7.1 and Splide.js for UI components like sliders. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for keywords and description, but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for enhanced SEO and social sharing. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom-built or static site. Performance is moderate with large background images used in sliders, which may impact load times. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal data collection. The site would benefit from improved SEO practices, accessibility enhancements, and adoption of structured data standards.
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.
