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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Volkswagen Latvija benefits from the global Volkswagen brand, offering a wide range of vehicles and services tailored to the Latvian market. The business model focuses on vehicle sales, leasing, servicing, and digital engagement through online forms and e-commerce capabilities. The company maintains partnerships with regional service providers such as volkswagenbaltic.eu for forms and offers. The website's content and navigation are designed to support customer journeys from information gathering to purchase and service booking. The presence of official social media channels and comprehensive legal disclosures further enhance credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implied by the use of guard.js and content security policies. The implementation of script guards and mutation observers protects against unauthorized external content loading. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is supported by clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure and trustworthy for users.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide explicit incident response and abuse contact channels to enhance trust and readiness.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, ensuring modularity and scalability. Performance optimizations such as lazy loading and deferred script execution contribute to fast page loads. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations.

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.
