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

4 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

TĀLAVA occupies a niche market segment in Latvia, focusing on craft and natural alcoholic beverages. Its business model centers on direct online sales and event bookings, such as factory visits. The company benefits from Shopify's e-commerce ecosystem, enabling streamlined operations and marketing integrations. The target audience is adults interested in premium natural drinks. The presence of GDPR-compliant policies and cookie consent mechanisms indicates awareness of regulatory requirements. The lack of publicly visible contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on web forms for customer interaction. The company appears to maintain a focused product line with potential for growth in the craft beverage market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes age verification, which are positive security measures. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options in the HTML source is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The use of multiple third-party scripts and tracking pixels introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Audit and monitor third-party scripts regularly to prevent supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding explicit company contact information to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using Liquid templating, with front-end technologies including jQuery, ScrollReveal, Photoswipe, and Plyr for enhanced UI/UX. It uses Shopify's CDN for hosting, ensuring good availability and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. However, some security-related HTTP headers are not evident in the HTML source, which may indicate a need for server-side configuration improvements. The integration of booking functionality via Tipo Booking adds complexity but is well integrated. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security hardening and accessibility enhancements.
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.
