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. 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

  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"

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

StarTrading.lv holds a niche position in the Latvian retail market for decorative LED lighting, leveraging official distributor status and ES certification claims to build trust. Their product range caters to both individual consumers and businesses such as cafes and event organizers. The company uses a standard e-commerce platform (OpenCart) and integrates common marketing tools to drive sales. Contact information is comprehensive, including multiple communication channels and social media presence. The business appears small but focused, with a clear value proposition around quality and variety. Partnerships with local delivery services and listing on comparison shopping sites enhance market reach. The absence of WHOIS data limits external validation but internal content suggests legitimacy and operational maturity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and secure login forms, which are fundamental security measures. However, the absence of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve security transparency. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies demonstrate some compliance with data protection regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from implementing additional best practices and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance site security.
  2. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to foster trust and responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on OpenCart 2.3.0.2, a widely used e-commerce CMS, and uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and animation libraries like TweenLite. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph metadata. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with some inline styles. There is no evidence of advanced backend technologies or cloud hosting providers from the HTML content. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modern security and performance enhancements such as HTTP/2, security headers, and improved 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.
