Risk levelMedium

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

PDV Car Parts SIA is a Latvian-based manufacturer specializing in custom wheel spacers and adapters, operating since 2007. The company serves a global customer base across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia, emphasizing high-quality materials, lifetime warranty, and attentive customer service. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and direct sales through an e-commerce enabled website with catalog and pre-order options. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, and UI libraries like Owl Carousel and FancyBox, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA for forms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear professional and consistent. Overall, the site scores well on content quality and privacy compliance but should address security and domain registration transparency to enhance trust.

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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

PDV Car Parts holds a niche position in the automotive aftermarket sector, focusing on wheel spacers and adapters. Their competitive advantage lies in product quality, lifetime warranty, and personalized customer service. The company targets vehicle owners and automotive enthusiasts worldwide, leveraging an e-commerce platform with catalog search and custom pre-order forms. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales and custom orders. The company maintains active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, supporting brand engagement. The website's partnership with Esteriol studio for development indicates a professional approach to digital presence. Growth indicators include a broad international customer base and consistent branding. However, the lack of visible domain registration data and security policies may impact customer trust and partnership opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No published security policy or incident response contacts were found, limiting transparency and preparedness. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, as it impedes verification of domain ownership and legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content, but the site would benefit from implementing security best practices and publishing vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS domain registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, including jQuery 1.11.0, Owl Carousel, Remodal, and FancyBox, providing interactive UI components and responsive design. Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK are integrated for analytics and customer engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive CSS and viewport settings. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of key scripts. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The HTML structure is valid with proper meta tags and Open Graph data, though SEO optimization is basic. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The technical stack supports the business needs but could be modernized with updated libraries and enhanced security configurations.
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.
