viss.lv is a Latvian informational portal providing comprehensive data about companies, government institutions, and other organizations in Latvia, including their products and services. The website offers multiple search options such as by company name, address, keywords, categorized catalogs, and map-based searches. It serves as a business directory and advertising platform, targeting Latvian residents and businesses seeking local information. The portal is regularly updated with new company listings and multimedia content to enhance user experience. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Ads for marketing and analytics purposes. The site appears to be custom-built without a common CMS and shows moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service are found on the main page, and no advanced security headers or incident response information are present. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities in the visible content, but security best practices such as CSP and anti-CSRF tokens are missing. The overall security posture is moderate but could be improved. Overall, viss.lv is a functional and moderately secure business directory portal with good content quality and user experience. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy documentation, and contact transparency would enhance trust and compliance. No WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with content accessibility, and the site contains no adult or questionable content, making it safe for general audiences.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

    • 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

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

viss.lv occupies a niche as a comprehensive Latvian business and service directory portal, offering categorized listings across multiple sectors including retail, hospitality, tourism, education, healthcare, and professional services. Its business model relies on advertising revenue and paid business listings. The portal targets local consumers and businesses seeking detailed information about goods and services in Latvia. The presence of daily updates and multimedia content indicates active content management and engagement. The site leverages Google advertising and analytics tools, suggesting a mature digital marketing approach. However, the absence of explicit company contact details and privacy policies may limit user trust and business transparency. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies, and no direct partnerships are identified beyond external advertising links. The portal’s market position appears stable within the Latvian informational ecosystem but could benefit from enhanced business credibility features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communication. A comprehensive cookie consent mechanism is implemented, allowing users to customize tracking preferences, which aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security policies is a compliance gap. No security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options are detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. Forms lack visible anti-CSRF tokens, increasing risk of cross-site request forgery. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, limiting transparency in security incident handling. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are evident in the HTML content. Overall, the site is moderately secure but requires enhancements in security headers, documentation, and incident response readiness to improve its security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Incorporate anti-CSRF tokens in all forms to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.
  4. Publish incident response and abuse contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with standard web technologies: HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing, along with Google AdSense for advertising. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and has a clear navigation structure including search forms and categorized catalogs. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta description tags and structured navigation. No advanced frameworks or platforms are detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. The site lacks modern security headers and some best practices in form security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
