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

Shark.lv is a Latvian-based e-commerce retailer specializing in fishing equipment and accessories, including lures, hooks, and winter fishing gear. The company operates a professional online store built on the PrestaShop platform, targeting fishing enthusiasts primarily in Latvia. The website offers clear product categorization, new and popular product listings, and customer support features such as contact information and return policies. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including jQuery and Facebook SDK for social integration and tracking. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure form tokens, though explicit security headers are not evident in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy present but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional retail experience with room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance.

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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 business is positioned as a niche fishing equipment retailer with a small company size and a founding year of 2003. It leverages an e-commerce model to serve anglers and fishing hobbyists, offering a range of specialized products. The presence of multiple language options and social media channels indicates an intent to reach a broader audience. The company provides trust signals such as clear contact details, return policies, and secure shopping guarantees. However, the lack of WHOIS data limits verification of domain legitimacy. The business appears stable with consistent branding and a focused market segment.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure form tokens, which are positive security practices. However, the absence of visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, and no security certifications are displayed. The use of Facebook SDK introduces tracking but is common in e-commerce. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, and maintaining updated third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and Facebook SDK for functionality and social integration. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO, though Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are not present. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and comprehensive SEO metadata. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a functional e-commerce experience but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
