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

Mental BMX is a small manufacturing and e-commerce business specializing in BMX and track bike hubs, operating since 2012 and based in Riga, Latvia. The website serves as both a product showcase and an online shop, featuring a range of BMX hubs, spare parts, and accessories. The company emphasizes local production and quality, targeting BMX enthusiasts and cyclists. The site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern web technologies and SEO optimizations to reach its audience. The technical infrastructure is solid with Cloudflare DNS and a mature domain registration dating back to 2009, supporting the business's credibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration locks, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. Google Analytics is used for tracking without visible consent mechanisms, indicating room for privacy compliance improvements. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

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

Mental BMX occupies a niche market in the manufacturing and retail of BMX and track bike hubs, focusing on quality and local production in Latvia. The business model combines manufacturing with direct online sales via WooCommerce. The company targets BMX riders and cycling enthusiasts, offering specialized products such as track hubs, BMX hubs, sprockets, and bar ends. The website content and product imagery support a strong brand identity and consistent messaging. The absence of explicit business registration details or VAT numbers on the site limits full transparency but the domain age and stable online presence suggest a legitimate operation. The company leverages social media, notably Instagram, to engage with its community. There is no indication of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduce the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The use of Google Analytics without a cookie consent mechanism may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better security policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve browser security.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  5. Publish vulnerability disclosure and incident response information to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Select2, and is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDNs for fonts and scripts. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small manufacturing e-commerce business, though security enhancements are recommended.
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.
