Tavex Lithuania operates as an e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of investment-grade precious metals, primarily gold and silver bars and coins. Positioned as an official representative of manufacturers in the Baltic region, the company targets investors and individuals seeking LBMA-certified bullion products. The website offers detailed product information, price charts, and customer account management features under the Tavex ID system, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and demonstrates good mobile optimization and performance. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, although formal security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though WHOIS data anomalies suggest a need for verification of domain registration details.

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

5 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 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';…

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

Tavex Lithuania holds a strong market position in the Baltic financial sector as a trusted seller of investment precious metals. Its business model centers on direct online sales supported by detailed educational content and customer engagement tools. The company leverages partnerships with recognized manufacturers like Valcambi and PAMP, enhancing its credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and possibly consultation services. The target customer base includes retail investors and collectors in Lithuania, Latvia, and surrounding regions. The presence of multiple physical addresses and active social media channels indicates a well-established operational footprint. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining transparent domain registration and expanding formal security and compliance disclosures to strengthen trust further.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled, robust security headers, and bot mitigation via reCAPTCHA. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR standards, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response information limits transparency in handling security events. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools introduces moderate tracking but is managed with user consent. To enhance security maturity, Tavex Lithuania should consider publishing formal security documentation and establishing clear incident response channels. Regular audits of third-party scripts and continuous monitoring are recommended to mitigate emerging risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact information or a security@ email address.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party integrations and update dependencies promptly.

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.
