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

Latsweets.lv is the online presence of Latsweets, a Latvian confectionery manufacturer established in 1996. The company specializes in producing Oriental sweets, dragees, honey cakes, biscuits, and other confectionery products, exporting to eight countries. The website is multilingual, supporting English, Latvian, and Russian, targeting a broad audience interested in confectionery products. The business model focuses on manufacturing and retail with export activities, emphasizing quality and natural raw materials. The website content is well-structured and professionally presented, reflecting a small but established business in the retail and manufacturing sectors. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, utilizing modern frontend libraries such as Bootstrap 4, jQuery Fancybox, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. However, some technical improvements are recommended, including the implementation of security headers and enhanced accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has a cookie consent mechanism indicating some GDPR compliance. However, no privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, and no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is present. The absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data limits the full security assessment. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better transparency and technical controls. The overall risk assessment suggests a legitimate and professional business with moderate digital maturity. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and improving compliance documentation to strengthen trust and security posture.

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

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

    • 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

Latsweets operates in the confectionery manufacturing and retail sector with a focus on quality and natural ingredients. The company has a stable market position with export activities to eight countries, indicating some international reach. The business model is product-centric, targeting consumers and distributors of confectionery products. The website supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility to diverse markets. The partnership ecosystem includes a web development partner (mangobloomdev.com). Growth indicators include a long operational history since 1996 and a clear export strategy. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales domestically and internationally. The company maintains clear contact channels but lacks visible certifications or trust badges on the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and a cookie consent banner is implemented, showing awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of privacy policy and terms of service pages, lack of security headers, and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicate gaps in compliance and security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security culture appears nascent and would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly update Drupal core and third-party libraries to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery Fancybox for UI enhancements. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs such as Google Fonts, jsDelivr, Cloudflare, and StackPath. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The HTML structure includes accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels, though further improvements are possible. No hosting provider information was identified. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy/legal pages, indicating areas for technical and compliance improvement.
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.
