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

SIA SAULES SVECES operates an e-commerce website focused on retailing scented and decorative candles, gift sets, and related products primarily targeting the Latvian market. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and content relevant to its business domain. It offers multilingual support (Latvian and English) and includes standard e-commerce features such as product listings, shopping cart, and checkout processes. The company maintains active social media profiles on Facebook and Instagram, enhancing its market presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Vue.js for frontend interactivity, Google Analytics for traffic monitoring, and uses CDN-hosted libraries such as jQuery and Toastr.js. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible security warnings, indicating a secure transport layer. Mobile optimization and SEO practices are adequately implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates basic best practices such as HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms. However, there is a lack of advanced security headers and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain trust verification, but the website content and contact information suggest a legitimate small business operation. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and moderate technical maturity. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and WHOIS data availability would enhance trust and compliance posture.

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

  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 company positions itself as a niche retailer specializing in scented candles and related gift products within Latvia. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce supplemented by physical store presence at Kungu iela 6, Liepāja. The target customer segment includes general consumers seeking decorative and aromatic candles for various occasions. The website's multilingual support indicates an intent to reach broader audiences, including English speakers. The presence of workshops (Meistarklases) suggests additional revenue streams and community engagement. The company leverages social media channels for marketing and customer interaction. No evidence of parent or subsidiary relationships was found, indicating an independent small business. The business appears to maintain a consistent brand image and trustworthy online presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No dedicated security policy or incident response contact information is published, limiting transparency in security governance. The use of third-party libraries such as jQuery and Toastr.js should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. No signs of exposed sensitive data or malicious content were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust assessment. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced header configurations, documented policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or use verified domain registration to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Vue.js for reactive UI components and Swiper.js for sliders. Google Fonts and CDN-hosted libraries optimize resource loading. Google Analytics is integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, supporting a positive user experience on various devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small retail e-commerce site but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
