Security score

47/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Balerss is a Latvian-based small business specializing in educational and psychological services including trainings, lectures, psychological consultations, neurographics, and transformational games. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and content relevant to its niche audience. The technical infrastructure uses common web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture shows some positive indicators like CSRF token usage in forms but lacks important HTTP security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website appears legitimate and functional with room for security and privacy improvements.

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

10 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 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

  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

Balerss operates in the education and consulting sector focusing on psychological and creative development services. Its market position is niche, targeting Russian and Latvian speaking clients interested in personal development and art therapy. The business model revolves around paid trainings, consultations, and workshops, supplemented by gift cards and organizational services. The company maintains active social media channels and provides transparent contact information, supporting customer engagement and trust. Growth potential exists in expanding digital presence and formalizing compliance and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security awareness through CSRF token implementation in forms but lacks critical HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Absence of cookie consent and privacy banners may pose GDPR compliance risks. Incident response and security policy information are not published, which could hinder timely handling of security events. Overall security maturity is moderate but can be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant certifications or trust seals to boost business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional front-end stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Magnific Popup for UI components and interactivity. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack and improve security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
