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

Nikse.lv is a small Latvian artisan business specializing in the manufacture and sale of handcrafted brass and copper jewelry. The website serves as both an informational platform and an e-commerce store offering various jewelry categories such as rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and fibulae. The business targets general consumers interested in unique handcrafted metal jewelry, primarily within Latvia. The site is built on the Mozello CMS platform and leverages Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery, indicating a moderate level of technical infrastructure. The technology stack includes legacy jQuery and common UI libraries, suggesting a stable but somewhat dated technical implementation. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied, and login forms are present, but no advanced security headers or protections are detected. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site is functional with basic e-commerce capabilities but would benefit from enhanced security, privacy compliance, and richer business information to improve trust and professionalism.

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

9 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

Nikse operates in the retail sector focusing on handcrafted brass and copper jewelry, serving a niche artisan market in Latvia. The business model combines direct sales through an online store and possibly offline sales. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with limited digital marketing and no visible partnerships or certifications. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales via the e-commerce platform. The absence of contact emails, phone numbers, and social media links limits customer engagement and trust signals. The company does not display privacy or cookie policies, which may affect customer confidence and regulatory compliance. The technical infrastructure is adequate for a small business but lacks modern enhancements and analytics integration. Strategic growth could focus on improving digital presence, compliance, and customer communication channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS as indicated by canonical URLs, but no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS were detected in the provided data. The login form includes password fields but lacks visible anti-brute force or CAPTCHA protections. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified, but the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates a basic security posture. The site does not demonstrate incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. GDPR compliance is questionable due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, suitable for a small business but requiring improvements to protect customer data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enhance login security by integrating CAPTCHA or rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks.
  4. Publish contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Mozello CMS and uses legacy jQuery 2.2.4 along with UI libraries such as Fancybox3 and Bannerplay. Hosting is via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, providing reliable content delivery. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and includes responsive video scripts. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description and canonical tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. Technical debt is evident in the use of older libraries and absence of security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
