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

    • 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

  2. Security headers

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 operates in the retail sector, specifically focusing on art and stationery supplies for the Latvian market. Its competitive advantage lies in a specialized product range and localized service. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with an emphasis on product variety and promotions. The website's content and structure support a user-friendly shopping experience, which is critical for customer retention and growth. The presence of privacy and cookie policies suggests awareness of regulatory compliance. However, the lack of visible certifications or security policies indicates room for improvement in trust-building measures. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with no publicly disclosed parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and standard Drupal security features such as CSRF tokens in forms, which provide a baseline security level. However, the absence of security headers like Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. The integration of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance is addressed through cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the Drupal installation and third-party modules.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user data management options.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant certifications or trust badges to increase customer confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a standard set of front-end technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Owl Carousel for UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation menus. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure or form implementations. However, the site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The absence of security headers and limited security policy information indicate technical debt in security best practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
