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

10 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

      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

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 holds a strong market position in Latvia as a leading supplier of panel materials for furniture and construction. Their business model combines B2B and B2C sales through an e-commerce platform, supported by a product configurator and customer account management. The presence of a partner digital agency domain suggests professional external support. The company emphasizes values such as experience, trust, stability, and environmental care. Growth indicators include expanded product lines and active news updates. The partnership ecosystem includes manufacturers like REZULT. Revenue streams likely derive from direct sales and online orders. The company targets furniture manufacturers, construction firms, and private customers requiring panel materials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented on forms to prevent automated abuse. Nonce tokens are used in forms to mitigate CSRF attacks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are visible. Privacy and cookie policies are missing on the main domain, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with better headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress 6.8.2 platform with WooCommerce 6.8.2 for e-commerce functionality. It uses popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and WPML for multilingual support. Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA are integrated for analytics and security. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses jQuery and custom JavaScript for interactivity. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
