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

Zurnali.lv is an established Latvian e-commerce platform specializing in the subscription and sale of printed and digital magazines and newspapers. Operated by SIA "Izdevniecība Rīgas Viļņi", the website offers a broad catalog of publications targeting Latvian-speaking audiences including general readers and children. The business model centers on subscription services with options for digital access and single issue purchases, supported by a newsletter subscription and social login capabilities. The company maintains a clear market position as a trusted media subscription provider in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on the Magento 2 platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as RequireJS, jQuery, and KnockoutJS. It integrates multiple Mageplaza extensions for enhanced e-commerce functionality and marketing tools. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and accessibility features, although some accessibility aspects could be improved. Performance is moderate, with a comprehensive use of external analytics and tracking services including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes standard security headers. It employs CAPTCHA on login forms and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, Zurnali.lv demonstrates a solid digital maturity and security posture appropriate for its business scope. Strategic recommendations include publishing a formal security policy, establishing incident response contact channels, and enhancing accessibility compliance to further strengthen 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.

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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

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

Zurnali.lv operates in the Latvian media sector, focusing on magazine and newspaper subscriptions both in print and digital formats. The company benefits from a well-established brand with clear contact and legal information, supporting a medium-sized business profile. Revenue streams derive from subscription fees, single issue sales, and possibly advertising partnerships. The platform targets a broad demographic including families and children, with specialized content categories such as health, puzzles, and children's magazines. The integration of social login and newsletter subscriptions indicates a focus on customer engagement and retention. Partnerships with the publisher's main site (rigasvilni.lv) and use of Google and Facebook marketing tools suggest a mature marketing ecosystem. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a strong local market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, appropriate security headers, and CAPTCHA protections on sensitive forms. Cookie consent is implemented with a clear banner and user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of Mageplaza security extensions and absence of exposed sensitive data indicate adherence to security best practices. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency and preparedness from a security governance perspective. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be improved by formalizing policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento 2, a robust and widely used e-commerce platform, enhanced with RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading and KnockoutJS for UI bindings. It uses multiple Mageplaza extensions for social login, popups, and search enhancements. The site loads numerous CSS and JS assets asynchronously, improving performance. Google Fonts and external analytics scripts are used. The site is mobile responsive with adaptive banners and a sticky filter UI on mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in asset loading and script management. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience with room for modernization in accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
