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

The Catch Riga is a small hospitality business operating a modern Japanese izakaya restaurant in Riga, Latvia. The website presents a premium dining experience focused on sushi, robata grill, and cocktails made from high-quality ingredients. The business targets consumers interested in authentic Japanese cuisine and boutique dining experiences. The site is professionally designed using the Tilda CMS platform, with embedded videos and a clean, mobile-optimized layout. Social media presence is established via Instagram, and the business is part of a family of hospitality brands linked on the site. Technically, the site uses common web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and privacy policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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.

Priority findings

8 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. 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 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

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

The Catch Riga positions itself as a premium Japanese izakaya in Riga's quiet center district, founded in 2018 by Alexander Slobine. The business model is hospitality-focused, offering unique dining experiences with imported premium seafood. The website links to partner hospitality brands, indicating a portfolio approach to boutique dining. Revenue streams likely include in-restaurant dining and possibly events. The target customer segment includes local and visiting consumers seeking authentic Japanese cuisine. The partnership ecosystem includes several related hospitality domains, suggesting strategic collaboration. The business shows growth potential through brand family expansion and digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no security headers were detected in the provided data. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security.txt, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. The use of third-party tracking scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel introduces privacy considerations. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site should improve security headers, privacy disclosures, and incident response readiness to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels, including security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Tilda CMS platform, leveraging its grid and animation libraries along with jQuery 1.10.2. It uses embedded Kinescope videos for rich media content and integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses DNS prefetching for performance. Hosting is via Tilda's CDN infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updated jQuery versions and enhanced accessibility features. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated frameworks were detected in the HTML 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.
