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

    • 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

  2. 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

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 company operates in the hospitality and transportation sectors, providing travel packages primarily to European destinations. Their business model relies on direct customer bookings via the website and partnerships with external services like Booking.com and Balta Online for hotel and insurance offerings. The target customer segment is Russian-speaking tourists in Latvia and nearby regions. The website shows signs of consistent branding and trust indicators such as social media presence and detailed contact information. The company was founded in 2007, indicating a stable presence in the market. Affiliate partnerships and advertising through Google Adsense and Facebook Pixel support their marketing efforts. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital marketing and enhancing security and compliance disclosures.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, which are positive security practices. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The site uses several third-party scripts including analytics and advertising networks, which increases the attack surface but appears to be managed responsibly. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing GDPR-related practices and data retention policies.
  5. Consider adding a data protection officer contact or privacy contact to comply with data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Matomo, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and FraudBlocker. The site loads asynchronously many scripts to optimize performance, though the presence of multiple ad scripts may impact load times. The site is mobile responsive with breakpoints defined for images and layout. Accessibility features are basic but present, including ARIA roles and labels in menus. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang attributes for language versions. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and adequate for a small travel agency website.
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.
