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

Venda Motors is a small Latvian company specializing in the retail and distribution of automotive spare parts and industrial equipment, with a focus on brands like STIHL and Milwaukee. The company claims 25 years of experience serving the Ventspils region, targeting vehicle owners and industrial equipment operators. The website presents basic but relevant business information and contact details, primarily a phone number, with no email contacts or detailed policies visible. Technically, the website uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and PhotoSwipe, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenges, but lacks advanced security headers and visible HTTPS confirmation. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO practices are minimal but present. From a security perspective, the site shows limited maturity. There are no privacy or cookie policies, no visible incident response contacts, and no security certifications. The absence of security headers and unknown SSL status reduce the security posture score. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification, but the website content and local business indicators suggest legitimacy. Overall, Venda Motors presents a functional but basic online presence with room for improvement in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS with strong SSL, publishing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and providing clear contact emails for security and customer support.

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

11 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

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

Venda Motors operates as a local automotive and industrial spare parts retailer in Latvia, leveraging 25 years of experience to maintain a trusted market position in Ventspils. The business model focuses on direct sales of original and analog parts for a wide range of vehicles and machinery. The company targets individual vehicle owners and industrial clients, with a straightforward retail approach. The website reflects a small business scale with limited digital sophistication but adequate market presence. Partnerships with local developers (MegaSoft) indicate some investment in digital presence. Revenue streams likely derive from direct sales and service offerings related to STIHL and Milwaukee equipment. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the long-standing presence suggests stable operations. The absence of detailed business disclosures or certifications limits deeper competitive analysis.

Security posture

The website's security posture is basic and shows several gaps. The lack of HTTPS confirmation and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options expose the site to potential risks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or abuse contacts are provided, limiting readiness for security incidents. The use of common JavaScript libraries without visible vulnerability management could pose risks if outdated. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant improvements to meet modern security standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact emails for customer support and security incident reporting.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery and PhotoSwipe for UI elements, and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The HTML structure is valid but basic, with minimal SEO optimization through meta tags and Open Graph data. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, with a desktop-oriented layout and no explicit responsive design features. Accessibility features are minimal. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the data. The site would benefit from modernization to improve performance, security, and user experience.
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.
