Risk levelHigh

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

The website shoesgars.eu represents SIA GARS S, a small Latvian company specializing in handmade shoes, clothing, and leather goods repair and customization since 1990. The business targets customers valuing unique, high-quality leather and textile products and services. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and content focused on the company's key services including shoe and clothing tailoring, furniture upholstery, and repair services. Contact information is prominently displayed, supporting customer engagement. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies such as jQuery, FontAwesome, and Google Fonts, hosted via GoDaddy.com, LLC. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility and SEO could be improved. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or lightweight implementation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided. The absence of tracking or analytics scripts suggests minimal user data collection, which reduces privacy risks but also limits marketing insights. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and credible for its business scope but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and transparency measures to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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

    • High

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

SIA GARS S operates in the retail sector focusing on niche handmade leather and textile products and repair services. The company leverages its long-standing history since 1990 to position itself as a trusted local provider of bespoke and restoration services. Its business model centers on craftsmanship and personalized customer service rather than mass production. Revenue streams likely derive from custom orders and repair jobs. The target market includes individuals valuing quality and uniqueness in footwear, clothing, and furniture upholstery. The company maintains a modest digital presence with a single website and a Facebook page, indicating a localized and focused marketing approach. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response readiness is present, which could delay mitigation of security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, posing legal and reputational risks. Forms on the site collect personal data but no visible security measures like CAPTCHA or input validation hints are present. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, suitable for a small business but requiring improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA and input validation to prevent spam and injection attacks.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to broaden reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard front-end technologies including jQuery and FontAwesome, with Google Fonts for typography. It uses a backstretch plugin for background image slideshows. Hosting is via GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site lacks a CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks, indicating a simpler architecture. Performance is moderate with multiple large background images, which may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph tags but could be enhanced with structured data and better semantic markup. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, limiting marketing insights but improving privacy.
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.
