Lynxgear.lv is a Latvian e-commerce website specializing in active tourism, hunting, and military equipment. It offers a range of products including clothing, footwear, first aid kits, and industrial gear, targeting Latvian consumers interested in outdoor and tactical activities. The website is built on Joomla CMS with VirtueMart for e-commerce functionality, featuring modern UI elements such as sliders and product carousels. The site supports multiple languages including Latvian, Russian, and English, enhancing accessibility for a broader audience.

However, WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification.

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

    • 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

  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 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

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 business operates in a niche retail sector focused on military and outdoor equipment in Latvia. It positions itself as a unique provider of quality and sometimes exclusive products for the Latvian market. The business model is direct online retail with a focus on customer engagement through reviews and promotions. The presence of official brand representation claims and customer testimonials indicates efforts to build trust and credibility. The website's multilingual support and detailed product categorization suggest a mature e-commerce operation with a clear target audience. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating a likely independent small business.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, includes CSRF tokens in forms, and employs CAPTCHA on registration forms, indicating basic security hygiene. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no published security or incident response policy. The absence of a cookie consent banner and limited privacy compliance indicators suggest room for improvement in GDPR adherence. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The use of common JavaScript libraries and CMS components requires regular updates to mitigate potential risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced headers, explicit policies, and cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct usability testing to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with VirtueMart e-commerce extension, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery/Mootools for client-side scripting. It uses Smart Slider 3 for interactive sliders and Google Analytics/Tag Manager for tracking. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multilingual hreflang links. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The technical stack is modern but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance.
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.
