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

Kristell.lv is a Latvian-based e-commerce website specializing in the sale of candles and related products, including decorative candles, candle making kits, gift sets, and candle workshops. The site targets a general audience interested in handcrafted candle products and creative workshops, positioning itself as a niche local retailer in the candle and craft market segment. The business model combines online retail with experiential services such as workshops and corporate gifting options. Technically, the website is built on the Mozello CMS platform, leveraging Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery and using common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Fancybox for UI enhancements. The site is mobile-optimized with a responsive design and includes basic SEO and accessibility features. Google Analytics is integrated for user tracking, and a cookie consent mechanism is implemented to comply with privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, but the site shows no suspicious indicators in content or structure. Privacy protection on domain registration is likely justified for this small retail business. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and compliance transparency. The overall risk assessment indicates a legitimate small business with a professional online presence but with opportunities to enhance security best practices and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, improving GDPR compliance disclosures, and providing clearer contact information for security incidents to build trust and resilience.

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.

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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Kristell.lv operates in the retail sector focusing on handcrafted candles and related products, serving primarily the Latvian market. The company leverages an e-commerce platform combined with experiential offerings such as candle making workshops and corporate gift solutions, which differentiates it from pure product sellers. The presence on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok supports brand engagement and marketing efforts. The business appears to be small-sized with a niche market position, relying on direct online sales and local community engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The website content and structure suggest a stable but modest growth stage, with potential to expand through enhanced digital marketing and improved customer engagement features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML source. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small retail site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Enhance privacy compliance by providing a more comprehensive privacy policy with explicit GDPR statements and data retention disclosures.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Improve transparency by including company contact emails and phone numbers prominently on the website.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Mozello CMS and Amazon Cloudfront CDN for hosting and content delivery, ensuring reasonable performance and scalability. The tech stack includes jQuery 2.2.4, Fancybox 3, Bannerplay, and ResponsiveVideos for interactive and responsive UI elements. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. However, the site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and security headers. The performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical infrastructure is suitable for a small e-commerce business but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
