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

5 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MINI.lv operates as a large-scale automotive brand website serving the Latvian market, providing detailed product information, online store access, and after-sales services. Its business model revolves around direct brand representation, sales facilitation, and customer engagement through digital channels. The site integrates with BMW Group's digital ecosystem, indicating strong corporate backing and partnership. The presence of connected services and financial products suggests diversified revenue streams beyond vehicle sales. The site’s navigation and content structure support a user-friendly experience aimed at both retail customers and business clients. The lack of visible contact details and privacy policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes several security headers, contributing to a solid baseline security posture. Use of CSRF tokens and absence of exposed sensitive data indicate adherence to security best practices. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, security incident contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to further harden defenses. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact information are not evident, which could be improved to meet GDPR and industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding CSP, HSTS, and X-Content-Type-Options for improved protection.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging a modern JavaScript stack including AMD loader, Lodash, Bluebird, and Velocity.js for asynchronous and performant UI interactions. It uses Akamai CDN for content delivery and Boomerang for real user monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and preloading strategies. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature digital platform consistent with a large automotive brand’s standards, though some legacy CSS and scripts are present. Hosting and CDN services are robust, supporting scalability and availability.
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.
