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

Karavela SIA is a Latvian-based medium-sized company specializing in fish processing and canned fish production, including private label manufacturing. The company positions itself as a leading fish processing and canned goods manufacturer in the Baltic region, offering a wide product range and private label services. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content quality, targeting retail and wholesale customers interested in fish products. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and UIkit, integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for marketing and analytics, and employs a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and contact information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of business credibility, technical implementation, and privacy 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

7 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

    • 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

  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

Karavela operates in the manufacturing sector focused on fish and seafood canned products, serving both local and international markets. Its business model includes direct product sales and private label manufacturing, indicating diversified revenue streams. The company maintains a strong brand presence with multiple owned brands and active social media channels. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with professional content and consistent branding. Partnerships with other brands and service providers are evident, enhancing market reach. The company’s registration and banking details are transparently provided, supporting business credibility. Growth indicators include a broad product portfolio and emphasis on quality standards. The absence of detailed financial or founding year data limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and a cookie consent banner with granular options indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, and no security.txt file was found, limiting transparency for vulnerability reporting. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces potential risks if not regularly audited. Overall, while basic security and privacy practices are in place, there is room for improvement to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration to ensure strong encryption and forward secrecy.

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.7.1, UIkit framework, and Google services for analytics and marketing. It employs lazy loading for images and a responsive design approach, resulting in good mobile optimization and user experience. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and SEO-friendly meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and assets. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details were not identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security and performance optimizations.
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.
