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

VIPkosmetika.com is an e-commerce retailer specializing in natural and professional cosmetics, primarily distributing Italian brands GUAM and INCAROSE in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. The website serves as an exclusive dealer and offers products for face, body, hair, and oral care. The business operates a physical store in Riga, Latvia, and targets general consumers interested in quality cosmetics. The domain has been registered since 2013, indicating a mature presence in the market. Technically, the website is built on the OpenCart platform using the Journal3 theme, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and Bootstrap for responsive design. The site includes Facebook Pixel for marketing tracking but lacks visible advanced analytics or extensive tracking services. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate to good, with basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has a valid domain registration but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security practices. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy e-commerce presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen customer trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

The company positions itself as an exclusive distributor of Italian cosmetics brands GUAM and INCAROSE in the Baltic region, focusing on retail e-commerce and physical store sales. Its competitive advantage lies in exclusive brand partnerships and a localized presence in Latvia. The business model is retail-focused, targeting consumers seeking natural and professional cosmetic products. Revenue streams likely include online sales and in-store purchases. The target customer segment is general consumers in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia interested in quality cosmetics. The company shows consistent branding and provides clear contact information, enhancing credibility. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies, indicating an independent small business operation. The marketing ecosystem includes Facebook Pixel for retargeting and advertising. Growth indicators are not explicit in the data but the long domain age suggests stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and a legitimate domain registration. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents missed opportunities for enhanced security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, indicates compliance and transparency gaps. The use of Facebook Pixel introduces tracking considerations but is common in e-commerce. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from implementing recommended headers, privacy compliance documentation, and incident response contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the OpenCart CMS platform using the Journal3 theme, which provides a modern and responsive design framework. It utilizes popular JavaScript libraries including Swiper.js for carousels and Bootstrap for layout and styling. Font Awesome is used for icons, and Google Fonts provide typography. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently with some preloading and async loading techniques. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and mobile header adaptations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in caching and asset optimization. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The technical stack is standard for e-commerce but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
