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

Pipars.lv is a Latvian website focused on culinary content including recipes, blogs, and product promotion primarily related to coffee and food. The site integrates charitable initiatives by donating part of proceeds from product sales to children's dreams and rehabilitation. The business model appears to be a content-driven e-commerce affiliate or promotional platform targeting general audiences interested in cooking and lifestyle. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and a CMS platform from vigbo.tech. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS, but lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, as well as explicit contact information. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and compliance documentation. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is professional and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

12 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

The website occupies a niche in the Latvian culinary and lifestyle market, leveraging content marketing and product promotion linked to charitable causes. Its partnership with labasoma.lv indicates an ecosystem for product sales and social impact. The business targets home cooks and lifestyle consumers with recipes and blog content, supplemented by social media engagement. Revenue streams likely include affiliate sales and product placements. The site shows consistent branding and good content quality but lacks formal business contact details and compliance policies, which may impact credibility. Growth potential exists through enhanced transparency and expanded e-commerce capabilities.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web threats. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor contact channels for reporting security issues. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. The use of third-party tracking scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook SDK introduces privacy considerations. Overall, the site should improve security headers, privacy documentation, and incident response readiness to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  4. Conduct a WHOIS domain registration update or verification to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization for better user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform (Kevin2 by vigbo.tech) and uses jQuery 3.3.1, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK for tracking and marketing. The site loads resources from multiple CDNs and uses HTTPS throughout. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured JSON-LD data detected. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance 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.
