Risk levelMedium

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

Keramikas darbnīca Virzas is a small artisanal ceramics workshop based in rural Latvia, offering handcrafted ceramics, workshops, tourism experiences, and custom orders including wedding-related ceramics. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, providing an online store and informational content primarily in Latvian. The technical infrastructure uses common plugins and frameworks such as Elementor and Bootstrap, with moderate performance and basic SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a small local business with room for technical and security improvements.

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

8 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

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

    • 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

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

The business targets local and regional customers interested in artisanal ceramics and rural tourism. Its business model combines direct product sales, workshops, and tourism visits. The website content and structure indicate a niche market position with a focus on quality and personalized service. Contact information is transparent, supporting customer trust. The absence of WHOIS data and security policies suggests opportunities to strengthen credibility and compliance. The company appears to operate independently without visible parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy and security basics. However, it lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The WordPress and plugin versions are outdated, potentially exposing the site to known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with updates and policy implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest stable versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, enhanced by Elementor page builder and Bootstrap CSS framework. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and AddToAny for social sharing. The site loads multiple external resources such as Google Fonts and social media widgets. Performance is moderate with no evident critical errors, and the site is mobile responsive. However, the WordPress version is outdated (4.9.4), which may introduce technical debt and security risks. No advanced hosting or CDN information is detected. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional. Overall, the technical infrastructure is typical for a small business website but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
