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

SS.COM is a prominent Latvian online classified ads platform offering a wide range of categories including jobs, transport, real estate, construction, electronics, clothing, home goods, children’s products, animals, agriculture, and entertainment. The platform serves as a marketplace for individuals and businesses in Latvia to post and search for advertisements, positioning itself as a market leader in the Latvian classifieds sector. The business model is primarily based on free and paid classified listings, targeting Latvian residents and companies seeking to buy, sell, or advertise various goods and services. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with a responsive design and good SEO practices. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks, and some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, and the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, but lacks several important security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms indicating GDPR awareness. However, it lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website’s content and verifications suggest legitimacy. No adult or explicit content is present, making the site safe for general audiences. Overall, SS.COM presents a solid online classifieds platform with good content quality and user experience but could improve its security posture and transparency. The missing WHOIS data and lack of direct contact information are notable gaps. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and privacy policies more explicitly, and improving contact transparency 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

7 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

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

SS.COM operates as a key player in Latvia’s online classifieds market, leveraging a broad category portfolio to attract diverse user segments. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive local reach and comprehensive listing categories, from jobs and real estate to agriculture and entertainment. The business model relies on user-generated listings with monetization likely through premium ads or featured placements. The platform targets Latvian individuals and businesses, with multilingual support for Latvian, Russian, and English speakers, indicating an inclusive market approach. Growth indicators include long operational history since 2000 and integration with local advertising networks. The partnership ecosystem includes local ad services like puls.lv and europuls.eu, enhancing monetization and analytics capabilities. However, the lack of visible corporate contact details and WHOIS transparency may impact business credibility and partnership trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of SS.COM is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS and cookie consent, aligning with basic GDPR requirements. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are essential for mitigating common web attacks. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a red flag for domain legitimacy and could pose risks in domain ownership disputes or phishing detection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, while the platform maintains baseline security hygiene, it requires enhancements in security controls, policy transparency, and incident readiness to improve its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by providing verified company emails and phone numbers to build user trust and support compliance.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data absence to ensure domain registration transparency and strengthen legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, supplemented by Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the organization. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in loading or rendering. Accessibility features are basic but present. The absence of a detected CMS or advanced frameworks suggests a custom or legacy platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site integrates local advertising and tracking services, which may impact user privacy. Technical debt is moderate due to missing security headers and limited modern security practices. Opportunities exist to modernize the platform with enhanced security, accessibility, and performance optimizations.
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.
