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

JauniAuto.lv is a Latvian automotive news website providing up-to-date articles, reviews, and industry news targeted at Latvian-speaking automotive enthusiasts. The site operates primarily as an advertising-supported media platform, featuring a range of automotive content with a consistent brand presentation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and uses common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics, but suffers from slow performance and lacks modern security configurations. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security gap, exposing users to potential risks. Additionally, the site lacks privacy and cookie policies, which raises compliance concerns under GDPR regulations. Business credibility is moderate due to the lack of explicit contact information and security policies, although the domain registration data aligns well with the website's purpose and location.

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

8 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 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';…

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 website positions itself as a regional automotive news portal in Latvia, focusing on delivering automotive news and reviews. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, as evidenced by multiple ad networks and tracking scripts integrated into the site. The target audience is Latvian-speaking automotive enthusiasts and general consumers interested in car-related news. The site has been active since at least 2018, indicating some market presence. However, the lack of detailed business information, contact data, and certifications limits its perceived professionalism. Partnerships with local automotive-related domains like iauto.lv suggest some ecosystem integration. Growth opportunities could include improving user trust through enhanced security and compliance measures.

Security posture

The current security posture of JauniAuto.lv is weak. The site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability that undermines user data confidentiality and integrity. No security headers such as HSTS or Content-Security-Policy are implemented, and DNS security features like DNSSEC and DMARC are absent. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and advertising scripts, increasing the attack surface. There is no visible incident response or security policy, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. These gaps expose the site and its users to potential risks including data interception, tracking abuse, and phishing. Immediate remediation is recommended to install SSL, enable HTTPS, and implement basic security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Add explicit contact information and a security incident response contact to improve transparency.
  5. Configure DNS security features such as DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records to protect domain integrity.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses jQuery and several JavaScript libraries. It integrates Google Analytics and Gemius for user tracking and advertising purposes. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS but does not leverage Cloudflare's SSL or security features effectively. Performance is poor with a large page size (~630 KB) and high load time (~25 seconds), likely due to numerous ads and scripts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. The lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical risk. The site would benefit from performance optimization, security hardening, and improved compliance documentation.
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.
