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

SS.COM is a well-established Latvian online classified ads platform operating since 2000. It serves as the largest classifieds server in Latvia, offering a broad range of categories including jobs, transport, real estate, construction, electronics, clothing, children’s products, animals, agriculture, and entertainment. The platform targets Latvian residents and businesses seeking to buy, sell, or advertise goods and services locally. Its business model is based on free and paid classified ads submissions, positioning it as a market leader in the Latvian classifieds sector. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with custom scripts. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and well-structured content. SEO practices are adequately implemented, including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization information. Performance is moderate, and accessibility is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent banner indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, there is a lack of visible security headers and no published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The site uses third-party tracking pixels from local ad networks, which implies moderate user tracking. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and transparency. The domain registration data is consistent with the website’s claims, showing a long-standing presence since 2000 and no privacy protection, which supports legitimacy. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are found on the main page, which may impact user trust and support accessibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, improving privacy compliance details, and adding clear contact information to strengthen trust and 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

SS.COM holds a strong market position as Latvia’s largest classified ads platform, serving a wide demographic including individuals and businesses. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive category coverage and long operational history. The business model relies on classified ad submissions, both free and paid, generating revenue through advertising and premium listings. The platform’s partnership ecosystem includes local advertising networks such as puls.lv and europuls.eu, which support monetization. Growth indicators include a broad category range and consistent branding. However, the absence of visible contact details and security policies may limit trust among some users. The company operates primarily in the Latvian market with a medium-sized organizational footprint.

Security posture

The security maturity of SS.COM is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent banner shows compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is published, which could delay response to security incidents. There is no vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, limiting transparency. Third-party tracking pixels indicate moderate user tracking, which should be clearly disclosed in privacy policies. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR fully.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance the privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and detail data collection, retention, and user rights.
  5. Include clear company contact information such as support emails and phone numbers on the website to improve user trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with custom scripts hosted on their own domain (i.ss.com). It uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and organization identification. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. No modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected, indicating a custom or legacy platform. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
