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

InWine is a specialized retail e-commerce platform based in Latvia, focusing on the sale of wines, sparkling wines, spirits, beer, and cider. The website offers a curated collection ranging from affordable to exclusive products, enhanced by sommelier recommendations and interactive quizzes to personalize wine selection. The business targets adult consumers in Riga and surrounding areas, emphasizing convenience and expert guidance. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and easy-autocomplete, hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure, and implements HTTPS with CSRF protection for secure transactions.

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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the retail sector with a focus on alcoholic beverages, leveraging an e-commerce model to reach customers primarily in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in curated product offerings, sommelier expertise, and interactive tools for personalized recommendations. The presence of a partner event site suggests community engagement and brand extension. Revenue streams likely include direct online sales and possibly event-related promotions. The target market is adult consumers interested in quality wines and spirits. Growth indicators include a well-structured catalog and active user interaction features. The partnership ecosystem includes event platforms and digital service providers. Operationally, the company maintains a localized focus with potential for expansion within the Baltic region.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and CSRF tokens are used in AJAX requests, indicating awareness of common web security practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain attack vectors. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are visible. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. Compliance with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms is lacking, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but requires enhancements to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Regularly update all JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency and trust by providing detailed business information and certifications where applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 3.2.0, easy-autocomplete, lightslider, and a custom analytics/logging library (le.js). The hosting is on DigitalOcean, inferred from static asset URLs. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and interactive filtering for product catalogs. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features. The HTML structure is valid and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of a CMS or framework identification suggests a custom-built solution, which may require dedicated maintenance. Technical risks include outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to improve resilience and compliance.
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.
