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

Latvijas Sveces is a small Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in the sale of various types of candles including soy wax, stearin, beeswax, and aromatic candles, along with candle accessories and gift sets. The business targets general consumers primarily in Latvia with delivery options extending to other European countries. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, indicating a modern and scalable technical infrastructure. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes multi-language support for Latvian, Russian, and English users. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, use of hCaptcha for form protection, and standard security headers likely provided by Shopify. However, privacy compliance could be improved by implementing explicit cookie consent mechanisms and publishing more detailed privacy and security policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the overall digital presence and platform usage suggest a legitimate and professional business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, publishing terms of service, and improving direct contact information visibility.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 operates in the retail sector focusing on candles and related products, leveraging an e-commerce business model via Shopify. It maintains a local market position in Latvia with European delivery capabilities. The business benefits from a consistent brand presence and active social media engagement on Facebook and Instagram. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales of candles, accessories, and gift cards. The website content and structure indicate a customer-centric approach with clear navigation and promotional offers such as first-order discounts. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The business appears to be small-sized with a focus on quality and artisanal products, targeting general consumers interested in home fragrances and decorative candles.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small e-commerce business. HTTPS is enforced, and security headers are present, likely managed by Shopify. The use of hCaptcha on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Tracking technologies are implemented responsibly with standard analytics and marketing pixels. However, the lack of explicit cookie consent and detailed privacy/security policies represents a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, security, and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  3. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the contact page to improve customer trust and support.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy risks and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, a modern and widely supported e-commerce framework. It uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. External scripts include Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Parcely for shipping/cart functionality. Fonts are loaded from Shopify CDN ensuring performance and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate, typical for Shopify stores with multiple images and scripts. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and reduce tracking footprint for better user trust.
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.
