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

Kayakshop.lv is an e-commerce retailer and wholesaler specializing in kayaks, SUP boards, pedal boards, and other water sports and recreational equipment primarily targeting customers in Latvia and the broader European region. The website is built on the PrestaShop platform and offers a structured catalog of products with multiple categories and subcategories, catering to both retail and wholesale customers. The site includes user account management with social login options and a shopping cart system, indicating a mature e-commerce setup. Technically, the website uses common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Maps API, with HTTPS enforced for secure communications. However, explicit privacy policies and terms of service pages are not detected, which is a compliance gap. Security headers are not explicitly visible but HTTPS and secure login forms are present, indicating a reasonable security posture. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and structure suggest a legitimate small retail business. Overall, the site demonstrates good content quality, technical implementation, and moderate security 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

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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Kayakshop.lv operates in a niche retail sector focused on water sports equipment, including kayaks, SUP boards, and related accessories. The business model combines wholesale and retail sales, targeting water sports enthusiasts and commercial buyers in Latvia and Europe. The website's structured product categories and multi-language support (Latvian and English) indicate an intent to serve a diverse customer base. The use of PrestaShop CMS and integration of social login and tracking tools suggest a digitally mature operation. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly identified. The business appears to be a small-sized entity with consistent branding and a focused market position.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses secure login forms, and implements cookie consent via Cookiebot, reflecting adherence to basic security and privacy best practices. Tracking technologies include Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, which are standard but require proper privacy disclosures. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and customer trust.
  2. Add explicit contact information including company email and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update tracking and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and various JavaScript libraries for UI and functionality. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing tracking, and uses Google Maps API for location services. The site is served over HTTPS, indicating secure transport. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded asynchronously. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The lack of visible security headers and privacy documentation are technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a functional and professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance 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.
