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

The website vittel.lv serves as a promotional platform for Vittel mineral water in Latvia, primarily focused on a consumer lottery campaign organized by SIA Visas Loterijas and distributed by SIA Amber Distribution Latvija. The site provides detailed lottery rules, registration forms, and company information, targeting Latvian consumers interested in mineral water products and promotional activities. The business is positioned as a small retail entity with a clear focus on product promotion and consumer engagement through lotteries. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript with jQuery 3.0.0, and a cookie consent library loaded from a CDN. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and content relevance. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks, and performance is moderate. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible HTTPS enforcement information and security headers, which reduces its security posture. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates some privacy awareness, but no explicit privacy policy page or incident response contacts are found. The form collects personal data but lacks visible security measures or disclaimers about data protection compliance beyond the lottery rules. Overall, the site is functional and professional for its purpose but has gaps in security and privacy compliance. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy assessment. Strategic improvements in security headers, HTTPS enforcement, privacy policy publication, and incident response readiness are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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.

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

  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

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 operates in the retail sector, distributing Vittel mineral water and engaging consumers through a lottery campaign. The company leverages promotional activities to increase product sales and brand visibility in Latvia. The lottery is regulated and detailed, indicating compliance with local laws. The target market is Latvian consumers who purchase Vittel products. The business model combines product sales with consumer engagement via lotteries, potentially driving repeat purchases. The company appears small but focused, with clear contact points and regulatory adherence. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found. The partnership ecosystem includes lottery organizers and retail outlets. Growth indicators are not explicit but implied through promotional campaigns.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. Key vulnerabilities include lack of visible HTTPS enforcement, absence of security headers, and no published security or incident response policies. Data protection practices are minimally addressed through cookie consent but lack a comprehensive privacy policy. Incident response readiness is not evident. The site collects personal data via forms but does not display explicit security assurances or data handling disclosures. Compliance gaps with GDPR or other data protection regulations are likely. The security culture appears basic, focused on minimal compliance rather than proactive security management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with strict transport security (HSTS) to secure all site traffic.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, retention, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Establish and publish incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery 3.0.0. It loads cookie consent scripts from a CDN, indicating some attention to privacy compliance. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and provides a clear navigation structure. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, suggesting a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Technical debt may exist due to lack of modern security practices and absence of SEO enhancements beyond basic meta tags. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS, improving accessibility, and integrating analytics for better user insights.
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.
