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

Vilhelms.lv is an established Latvian e-commerce retailer specializing in art supplies for professional artists and hobbyists. The website offers a broad range of products including paints, brushes, canvases, drawing materials, and other artist tools. The business targets Latvian-speaking customers with multilingual support via Weglot, enhancing accessibility. The site is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging a modern and well-maintained technical infrastructure with multiple third-party marketing and sales tools integrated to improve customer experience and conversion rates. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers inferred from Shopify's hosting environment. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, indicating GDPR adherence. However, the absence of explicit contact information and security incident response details suggests areas for improvement. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy online presence suitable for its retail market segment.

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

5 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Vilhelms.lv operates in the retail sector, focusing on art supplies. Its competitive advantage lies in a wide product range and a localized approach serving Latvian customers. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce via Shopify, enabling scalability and ease of management. Revenue streams are primarily product sales. The site integrates marketing tools such as Ultimate Sales Boost and Recover My Cart to enhance sales performance. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify and various third-party service providers for marketing and translation. Growth indicators include a large product catalog and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest potential to expand contact transparency and security disclosures to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and inferred security headers consistent with Shopify best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces some risk, but these are reputable services commonly used in e-commerce. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicate attention to privacy regulations. However, the lack of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce operations but could benefit from enhanced security communication and periodic third-party script audits.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Add clear contact information including phone numbers and emails for customer support and security incidents.
  3. Implement and disclose an incident response policy to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Providence theme version 5.10.2, employing a modern tech stack including jQuery, Lodash, Flickity, and Font Awesome. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and sales tools such as Ultimate Sales Boost, Free Shipping Bar, Recover My Cart, and Testimonial Hub. Translation is handled by Weglot, supporting multilingual content. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Hosting is via Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable uptime and SSL configuration. Technical risks include reliance on multiple external scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
