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

Laima Ceramics is a small artisanal business based in Latvia specializing in handmade ceramic tableware for both home and restaurant use. The company offers a range of products including ceramics, vases, dinner sets, glazes, pottery tools, and pottery courses both in-person and online. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Google reCAPTCHA and Mailchimp for marketing and security. The business targets consumers and restaurants interested in unique, handcrafted ceramic products, positioning itself as a niche player in the retail and wholesale ceramics market. Technically, the website demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The use of HTTPS and some security best practices like CAPTCHA are positive, but the absence of advanced security headers such as HSTS and CSP indicates room for improvement in security posture. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie banner and consent mechanism present, but the privacy policy page is either missing or minimal, which could be enhanced for better GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site is generally secure with HTTPS enabled but lacks some recommended headers that could harden the site against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which reduces trustworthiness somewhat, although the website content and social media presence support the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the site scores well in content quality and business credibility but should improve privacy and security practices. Strategic recommendations include enabling HSTS and CSP headers, enhancing the privacy policy to be more comprehensive, and verifying domain registration details to improve trust. These steps will strengthen the security posture and compliance standing, enhancing customer confidence and reducing risk.

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. 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

  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 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Laima Ceramics operates in the artisanal ceramics retail sector with a clear focus on handmade quality and organic minimalism. Its business model combines direct e-commerce sales with wholesale offerings to restaurants and corporate clients, as well as educational pottery courses. The company leverages social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to engage customers and build brand presence. The website's integration with Etsy indicates a multi-channel sales approach. The business appears small but well-positioned within its niche market, emphasizing craftsmanship and personalized service. Growth opportunities may include expanding online course offerings and increasing wholesale partnerships. The lack of WHOIS data suggests a need for domain registration verification to avoid trust issues. Overall, the company demonstrates a focused market strategy with potential for steady growth in the handmade ceramics space.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, it lacks several important security headers such as HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), Content Security Policy (CSP), and X-Frame-Options, which are critical for mitigating risks like protocol downgrade attacks, cross-site scripting, and clickjacking. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent banner but an incomplete privacy policy. Incident response and security policy information are absent, indicating limited transparency in security governance. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness. To improve security maturity, the site should implement recommended headers, enhance privacy documentation, and establish clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) to mitigate cross-site scripting and data injection attacks.
  3. Add X-Frame-Options header to protect against clickjacking.
  4. Develop and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to enhance legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its integrated CMS and e-commerce capabilities. It incorporates third-party services such as Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, Mailchimp for email marketing, and Pinterest for social media integration. The site uses Typekit and Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting and CDN are managed by Squarespace, providing reliable uptime and security. However, the absence of advanced security headers and incomplete privacy documentation indicate technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
