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

Star Trade is a Latvia-based logistics and freight forwarding company specializing in worldwide cargo delivery by land, sea, air, and rail. With approximately 10 years of experience, the company offers comprehensive services including customs paperwork, insurance, route optimization, and trade intermediary services. Their website demonstrates a professional digital presence built on WordPress and Elementor, featuring clear navigation and business-focused content.

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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

      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

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

Star Trade operates in the transportation sector, targeting businesses needing reliable cargo delivery solutions globally. Their competitive advantage lies in their experience, route optimization capabilities, and established partnerships with major logistics players. The business model centers on freight forwarding and logistics services, supplemented by trade intermediary offerings. The company maintains a small size with a focused market presence in Latvia and the broader CIS region. Their website content and partner logos indicate strong industry connections, enhancing credibility. Growth potential is supported by their 24/7 support and comprehensive service portfolio, although transparency in domain registration could be improved.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses reputable analytics and tag management services. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a small business but requiring enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy enhancements to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit WordPress plugins and themes for vulnerabilities and keep software up to date.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency or provide verifiable business registration information to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, leveraging jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries. It uses Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager for styling and analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. However, the absence of advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical gaps in security and privacy implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
