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

Viada Baltija AS operates a large network of 101 fuel stations across Latvia, providing fuel sales, fuel cards for individuals and businesses, loyalty programs, and additional services such as convenience store products and car washes. The company targets both retail consumers and corporate clients, positioning itself as a leading fuel station operator in the Latvian market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant business content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as LayerSlider and Contact Form 7, with integrated Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and marketing. The site employs HTTPS and standard security headers, indicating a good security baseline. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations including GDPR. Security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and security maturity. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy standards, serving as a reliable digital presence for Viada Baltija AS. Strategic enhancements in security documentation and incident response readiness would further strengthen the company's security posture and stakeholder confidence.

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

9 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

Viada Baltija AS holds a strong market position as a major fuel station operator in Latvia, leveraging a broad network and diversified service offerings including fuel cards and loyalty programs. The business model focuses on retail and corporate fuel sales, supported by digital tools such as mobile apps and online card applications. The company maintains active social media channels and transparent contact information, enhancing customer engagement and trust. While the website content is professionally presented, the lack of detailed corporate information such as founding year or parent company limits deeper business intelligence insights. The integration of advertising and tracking technologies indicates a mature marketing approach aligned with industry standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Cookie consent management and privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and legal requirements.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with popular plugins such as LayerSlider and Contact Form 7, indicating a standard and maintainable infrastructure. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site is HTTPS enabled with appropriate security headers, contributing to a secure browsing experience. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site structure and SEO metadata are well implemented, supporting good search engine visibility. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
