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

Machineryline Latvija operates a well-established online marketplace specializing in construction machinery, industrial equipment, and spare parts. With over two decades in the market and millions of monthly users, it serves a broad audience of businesses and individuals in Latvia and beyond. The platform offers extensive categorized listings, dealer registration, and advertising services, positioning itself as a key player in the regional machinery sales sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, with a good implementation of HTTPS and security headers ensuring a secure browsing experience. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and explicit security policies indicates areas for compliance improvement. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, but the website's professional presentation, customer reviews, and social media presence strongly support its credibility. Overall, Machineryline Latvija demonstrates a mature digital presence with solid business credibility, though enhancements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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

7 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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"

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.

Business context

Business profile

Machineryline Latvija holds a strong market position as a specialized online marketplace for construction and industrial machinery in Latvia. Its business model revolves around facilitating sales, rentals, and advertising for machinery dealers and buyers. The platform benefits from a large user base and a network of related sites under the Linemedia group, enhancing its reach and service offerings. The presence of customer testimonials and a Google Partner badge further reinforce its market credibility. Revenue streams likely include advertising fees, listing fees, and premium dealer services. The target customers are primarily businesses in construction, industrial sectors, and equipment maintenance. The company’s strategic partnerships with sister sites like Autoline and Agroline expand its ecosystem, providing cross-sector opportunities. Growth indicators include extensive listings and active dealer participation. The platform’s multilingual and multi-country domain structure supports international expansion and localization.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options, and no visible exposure of sensitive data in the HTML content. The use of modern analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy considerations, though the lack of a cookie consent banner is a compliance gap under GDPR. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, which limits transparency in security management. The platform does not show signs of common vulnerabilities or malicious activity. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be improved by publishing formal security policies and implementing user consent mechanisms for cookies and tracking.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve trust and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy compliance documentation and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with CSS modules and JavaScript, integrating Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses multiple language and country-specific domains, indicating a scalable international infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and privacy compliance are opportunities for modernization.
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.
