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

pirkums.lv is an established Latvian online retail store operating since 2003, offering a wide range of products including home goods, children's items, sports equipment, furniture, and more. The website targets Latvian consumers and also provides content in Russian, indicating a regional focus with some international reach. The business model is a traditional e-commerce platform with nationwide and international delivery services. The site demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, supporting its position as a recognized local retailer. Technically, the website uses a legacy jQuery version alongside popular libraries such as bxSlider and Fancybox for UI components. It integrates major analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Yandex Metrika, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features, though there is room for improvement in modernizing the tech stack and enhancing security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, but the domain appears legitimate based on website content and business longevity claims. Overall, pirkums.lv presents a solid e-commerce presence with good user experience and privacy compliance. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing security policies. The absence of WHOIS transparency slightly reduces trust but does not indicate immediate risk. Strategic improvements in security and transparency will enhance trust and resilience.

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.

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

pirkums.lv operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on a broad product catalog that includes home, children, sports, furniture, and various consumer goods. The company targets Latvian consumers primarily, with some content available in Russian to reach a wider regional audience. The business model is direct online sales with delivery services. The website's longevity since 2003 suggests stable market positioning. The integration of major analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement. Lack of visible contact information and corporate details on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.0) is a notable vulnerability risk, as older versions have known security issues. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are publicly available, which limits transparency and readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML, which is positive. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear security policies and provide dedicated contact channels for incident reporting and vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase transparency by providing detailed company contact information and terms of service to build customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack with jQuery 1.11.0, bxSlider, and Fancybox for UI interactions. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Yandex Metrika for analytics and marketing. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. However, the use of outdated libraries indicates technical debt and potential security risks. No CMS or hosting provider information is discernible from the HTML. Performance appears moderate with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from 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.
