Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Julius Meinl Latvia operates as a regional branch of the historic Julius Meinl brand, specializing in coffee and tea products, equipment, and business solutions primarily targeting the HoReCa and retail sectors in Latvia. The website presents a professional and content-rich platform showcasing product offerings, business packages, and coffee culture concepts. Technically, the site is built on the MODX CMS with the Gumby framework and uses legacy JavaScript libraries, which may pose security risks. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking, but no privacy or cookie policies are evident, indicating potential compliance gaps. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking visible security headers and using outdated libraries. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional and business-focused but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

11 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 leverages the strong Julius Meinl brand to serve coffee and tea consumers, cafes, and hospitality businesses in Latvia. Its business model includes product sales, equipment rental, and tailored business packages for the HoReCa sector. The market positioning is that of a well-established regional player with a medium-sized operation. The website content and navigation support customer engagement and product promotion effectively. The partnership with the e-commerce domain shop.meinl.lv indicates an integrated sales channel. Growth potential exists through expanding digital presence and improving compliance and security standards.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate but with notable gaps. The use of outdated jQuery 1.7.2 exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. Absence of security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible privacy or cookie policies suggest GDPR compliance issues. HTTPS is used but SSL configuration details are unknown. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The site would benefit from a security audit, library updates, and implementation of security best practices to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add and configure HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to enhance protection.
  4. Conduct a full security audit including penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
  5. Publish incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses MODX CMS and the Gumby front-end framework, with jQuery 1.7.2 and Fancybox 1.3.4 for UI components. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and tracking. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses lazy loading for images, indicating some performance optimization. However, the use of outdated libraries and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt and security risks. Mobile optimization is basic, and SEO features are minimal but present. The site performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and responsiveness.
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.
