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

SM Veikals LV operates an e-commerce platform focused on selling sewing machines, overlockers, and related sewing accessories primarily to Latvian-speaking customers. The website offers a range of products from well-known brands with clear pricing and shopping cart functionality, targeting hobbyists and professionals in the sewing and textile crafts market. The business appears to be a small retail operation established around 2014, with a localized market presence in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on the OpenCart platform, utilizing older versions of jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, along with Google Analytics for tracking. The site uses HTTPS, but lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. The design and user experience are basic but functional, with clear navigation and product categorization. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS encryption but is hindered by outdated JavaScript libraries that may expose it to vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers and cookie consent reduces its compliance with GDPR and best security practices. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the business age and activity. Overall, the website is a functional small business e-commerce site with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in updating libraries, implementing security headers, and enhancing privacy compliance would significantly strengthen its security and trustworthiness.

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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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';…

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

SM Veikals LV occupies a niche retail market in Latvia, focusing on sewing machines and accessories. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized product offerings and localized customer support. The business model is direct e-commerce sales with an emphasis on product variety and customer convenience features such as wishlists and user accounts. Revenue streams are primarily product sales. The target customers are sewing enthusiasts and professionals in Latvia. Growth indicators include product range expansion and online presence since 2014. The company does not display partnerships or subsidiaries publicly. The website content and structure suggest a small but established operation with moderate branding consistency.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with notable gaps. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.7.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options weakens defense against common web attacks. No cookie consent or privacy banners are present, which may lead to GDPR non-compliance. Incident response and security policy information are absent, indicating limited formal security governance. Overall, the site is functional but requires updates and policy enhancements to meet modern security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and clearly publish privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Improve website design and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OpenCart e-commerce platform, using legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7.1 and jQuery UI 1.8.16, which are outdated and pose security risks. Google Analytics is integrated via gtag.js for visitor tracking. The site uses HTTPS, but no advanced security headers are detected. The HTML structure is basic with some legacy IE conditional comments, indicating older codebase elements. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization detected. Mobile optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, requiring modernization to improve security and performance.
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.
