Risk levelMedium

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

Aston Hotel Riga is a boutique design and art hotel located centrally in Riga, Latvia, offering 54 elegantly furnished rooms and a rooftop restaurant featuring Latvian art exhibitions. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager and FastBooking SDK for booking functionalities. The site is mobile optimized and includes privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, reflecting good privacy compliance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is missing, which reduces domain trustworthiness, but the website content and contact information appear legitimate and professional.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

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 hotel targets business and leisure travelers seeking a unique, art-inspired stay in Riga. Its market position is that of a boutique hotel emphasizing design and cultural experience. The business model revolves around accommodation, dining, and event hosting. The website integrates with FastBooking for reservations and uses multiple tracking and analytics tools for marketing and performance monitoring. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company maintains clear contact channels and privacy policies, supporting customer trust.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. No incident response or security policy information is published. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain trustworthiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, Google Maps API, and FastBooking SDK for booking management. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin. The site loads multiple external scripts for analytics and tracking, including Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were found. The site uses a custom map style and integrates cookie consent via Macaron plugin. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning 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.
