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

VENTUM is a Latvian-based e-commerce retailer specializing in construction materials, interior and exterior doors, and door furniture. The company targets both private individuals and project-based clients across Latvia, offering a wide range of building supplies and related products. The website supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility for a diverse local audience. The business model focuses on online sales with delivery services, positioning VENTUM as a local market player in the construction retail sector. Technically, the website is built on a modern e-commerce platform (likely OpenCart) using common web technologies such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced and basic consent management for cookies, though some security headers could be enhanced. From a security perspective, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are present, indicating a baseline compliance with GDPR requirements. However, no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information was found, and WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting full domain trust verification. Overall, VENTUM presents as a legitimate, professional online retailer with a solid digital presence. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, enhancing accessibility, and establishing clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels to strengthen security posture and compliance.

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

10 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

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

VENTUM operates in the Latvian retail sector focusing on construction and home improvement materials. Its competitive advantage lies in a broad product catalog, including specialized doors and building materials, supported by delivery services across Latvia. The business model is primarily B2C and B2B e-commerce, targeting construction professionals and private customers. The website's multilingual support and clear contact information suggest a customer-centric approach. Partnerships with known brands like Rockwool and Caparol indicate a strong supplier network. Growth indicators include active promotions and a regularly updated product catalog. The company appears to maintain a focused local market presence without evident subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and basic cookie consent management. Security headers are partially implemented, and no sensitive data leakage was observed. The absence of explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by privacy and cookie policies, but more comprehensive documentation and transparency would enhance trust. No malware or phishing indicators were found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small to medium e-commerce business but could benefit from enhanced security controls and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency on data retention policies and GDPR compliance details to build customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a popular e-commerce CMS platform, likely OpenCart, using a custom or third-party theme (UniShop2). It leverages common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components and Google Tag Manager for analytics integration. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with some opportunities for optimization in loading times and accessibility. Hosting details are not explicitly available. The technical stack is standard for small to medium e-commerce sites, providing a balance between functionality and maintainability.
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.
