Winter.lv is a Latvian e-commerce business specializing in personalized Christmas greetings, including letters and video messages from Santa Claus. The company targets families and children, offering various gift sets with physical and digital delivery options. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, supporting multiple languages to cater to a broader Baltic and European audience. The business appears established since 2007, operating under the legal entity SIA "BaltCoin". Technical infrastructure leverages common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS usage implied but lacking explicit security headers and documented security policies. Privacy compliance is well addressed with visible privacy and cookie policies and GDPR consent mechanisms. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. However, WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is safe, family-friendly, and professionally maintained.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

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

Winter.lv occupies a niche market in personalized holiday greetings within Latvia and the Baltic region. Its competitive advantage lies in offering customized video and paper greeting packages, combining traditional and digital formats. Revenue streams include direct online sales of various greeting sets with tiered pricing. The target customer segment is parents and relatives seeking unique Christmas gifts for children and adults. The company maintains a strong social media presence and customer engagement through Facebook testimonials. Partnerships with payment processors like Paysera support smooth transaction handling. Growth indicators include a broad language offering and consistent customer feedback. The business model is straightforward e-commerce with seasonal peaks around Christmas. Strategic observations suggest potential for expansion into other holiday occasions or markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, indicating limited formal security governance. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy reflect GDPR awareness, but no dedicated security policy or data protection officer contact is provided. Third-party scripts for analytics and marketing increase the attack surface and require regular auditing. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be improved with enhanced headers, documented policies, and security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Establish and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance by appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details.
  5. Improve WHOIS domain registration transparency to strengthen trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but common technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4.3.1, and Select2 for UI components, supported by FormValidation and Blueimp File Upload for form handling. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses multiple external CSS and JS resources hosted on s.magicwelcome.com and CDNs. Performance is moderate, with no explicit speed optimizations noted. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small to medium e-commerce site but could benefit from performance and accessibility enhancements.
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.
