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.

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

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 strong market position as the largest draft beer retailer in the Baltics, leveraging direct supply chains from local breweries to maintain product quality. Its target customers are mature beverage consumers interested in craft and fresh draft products. The business benefits from a clear branding strategy and social media presence, primarily on Facebook. The multilingual website supports Latvian, Russian, and English speakers, indicating a regional focus. Revenue streams likely derive from in-store sales and possibly event-related keg rentals. The absence of phone contact but presence of email and social media suggests a preference for digital communication channels. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting. The use of common WordPress plugins and analytics tools is standard but requires regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with better policy disclosures and security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution plugins, indicating a standard but flexible infrastructure. It integrates Google Analytics via MonsterInsights for user tracking and ShareThis for social sharing. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery and media handling scripts, which are deferred to optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible in script loading and caching. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a medium-sized retail website but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
