Security score

44/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website m-tech.lv represents a Latvian small business "SPARES AUTO" SIA operating since 2003, specializing in the e-commerce sale of automotive lighting products including xenon, halogen, and LED lamps from well-known brands. The company targets automotive parts buyers primarily in Latvia but also serves international customers. The site is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content quality, supporting multiple languages and offering customer support via WhatsApp, email, and a contact form. Technically, the site uses modern front-end technologies including jQuery, Google OAuth2 for authentication, and Google Analytics for tracking. HTTPS is enforced, but security headers are missing, and privacy/cookie policies are not present, indicating compliance gaps. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

      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';…

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 holds a stable market position as a local Latvian retailer of automotive lighting products with a broad product catalog and established customer support channels. Its business model is direct e-commerce retail with delivery options including courier and postal parcel lockers. The company leverages partnerships with known brands and related websites (autospares4u.com, sparesauto.lv) to enhance market reach. The website's multilingual support and detailed product information indicate a customer-centric approach. Growth potential exists through improved digital marketing and enhanced compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google OAuth2 for user authentication, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, and privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Strict-Transport-Security) to enhance web security.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a strong security culture.

Key observations

  1. Website is fully accessible with rich content in Latvian language.

  4. Use of Google OAuth2 for user sign-in indicates some level of user account management.
  5. No explicit security headers detected in HTML content; potential area for improvement.

  7. Website uses HTTPS and modern front-end technologies.
  8. No adult or questionable content detected; content is safe for general audiences.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with HTML5, CSS3, jQuery 3.4.0, FontAwesome icons, Google Fonts, and Google OAuth2 for authentication. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML content. The site lacks some technical security best practices such as security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a functional and user-friendly e-commerce experience but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
