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

SIA V4 Motors is an established automotive service provider based in Riga, Latvia, operating since 1994. The company specializes in commercial and passenger vehicle repairs, bodywork, installation and distribution of vehicle security systems, and technical expert services. With over 30 years of industry experience and certification from the Latvian Auto Engineers Association, V4 Motors positions itself as a trusted local service provider. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting vehicle owners and commercial transport operators in the region. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA implemented for security. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and lack of WHOIS transparency slightly reduce trust and compliance scores. Overall, the digital presence is solid but could benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security headers.

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

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 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

      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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

V4 Motors operates in the transportation sector, focusing on automotive repair and maintenance services. Their business model is service-oriented, catering primarily to local customers in Riga. The company offers a broad range of services including commercial vehicle repair, bodywork, engine diagnostics, air conditioning servicing, and insurance-related services. The presence of a recognized certification and detailed service descriptions indicates a mature business with a stable workforce. The website's content and structure support clear communication of services, though the lack of social media presence and limited external partnerships suggest a primarily local and direct customer engagement strategy. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding digital marketing and enhancing compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms against automated abuse. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small to medium business but could be improved with additional technical controls and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform (WordPress) using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA for enhanced user experience and security. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses HTTPS for secure communications. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JS assets cached. However, no advanced hosting or CDN details were identified. Accessibility is basic, with some screen reader support via skip links. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and missing security headers, which should be addressed to maintain operational security and 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.
