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. 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"

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 a small-sized retail and service business focused on automotive parts and repairs. Its market position is that of a specialized local provider in Latvia, leveraging direct customer engagement and a physical service center. The business model combines e-commerce with offline service offerings. The presence of Yandex Metrika and Google Tag Manager suggests active marketing and analytics efforts. The company registration details and VAT number are clearly displayed, enhancing credibility. However, the lack of WHOIS data limits external trust verification. The business ecosystem includes partnerships with the ZAP-SHOP platform and Bothelp.io for customer communication.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a strong security baseline. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.2) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. No visible sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism indicates partial GDPR compliance. No explicit incident response or security policy information is published, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy compliance mechanisms to meet GDPR requirements fully.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current stable versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible to users and partners.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a proprietary e-commerce platform (ZAP-SHOP.RU) with a technology stack including jQuery 1.8.2, Google Fonts, Yandex Metrika, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and modern JavaScript usage. The integration of Bothelp.io WhatsApp chat widget enhances customer interaction. The absence of advanced frameworks or CMS platforms indicates a custom or niche solution. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce operational risks.
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.
