AS Recipe Plus is a major wholesale and retail distributor in Latvia, specializing in pharmaceutical, veterinary, and related products. The company positions itself as one of the largest wholesalers in the Latvian market, targeting both wholesale and retail customers. The website is professionally designed, localized primarily in Latvian with an English option, and features rich SVG graphics and interactive elements highlighting their service sectors. Technical infrastructure includes modern web standards such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate with cookie consent mechanisms in place but lacks visible advanced security headers or explicit privacy and security policies.

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

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 and healthcare sectors, focusing on wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical and veterinary products. Its business model revolves around serving both wholesale clients and retail customers, supported by logistics and product registration services. The market position is strong within Latvia, supported by a professional online presence and social media engagement via LinkedIn. Revenue streams likely include product sales and logistics services. The target customer segments include pharmacies, veterinary clinics, and retail consumers. The website content and structure indicate a mature business with consistent branding and a focus on trust-building through professional design and service presentation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, and no security certifications are displayed. The absence of visible contact emails or phone numbers for security or abuse reporting reduces transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header configurations, publish security policies, and implement incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and security policies accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve transparency.
  4. Ensure all forms and data collection points use secure transmission and validate inputs to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update SSL/TLS configurations to maintain strong encryption standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts, with extensive use of SVG for graphics and animations. The site is mobile optimized and features a responsive design. However, no CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading times and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags present but lacks structured data such as JSON-LD for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of visible performance optimization indicators.
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.
