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

Salmo.lv is a Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in fishing equipment and outdoor gear. The website offers a comprehensive catalog of fishing hooks, accessories, apparel, fishing lines, baits, boxes, rods, reels, and tourism-related products. It targets fishing enthusiasts and outdoor hobbyists primarily in Latvia. The site is built on the Bitrix CMS platform and incorporates common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager. The technical infrastructure is moderately modern with basic mobile optimization and SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 business operates as a regional specialized retailer in the fishing and outdoor gear market, leveraging an e-commerce model to reach customers. Its competitive advantage lies in a broad product range and established social media presence on Facebook and YouTube. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales. The target customer segment includes fishing enthusiasts and outdoor sports consumers in Latvia. The company uses Bitrix CMS for its online platform, indicating a preference for established CMS solutions. Growth indicators are not explicitly visible, but the detailed product catalog and marketing tools suggest active business operations. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The partnership ecosystem includes major fishing brands featured in the catalog but no explicit partner domains were found.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, indicating limited transparency in security practices. The use of third-party tracking scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel introduces privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with better compliance and security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response process and vulnerability disclosure policy to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Bitrix CMS with front-end technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. It integrates Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The site has basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features but lacks advanced SEO optimizations such as structured data or Open Graph tags. The absence of visible security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires 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.
