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

Balss Aprūpes Centrs is a specialized Latvian healthcare and educational service provider focusing on voice care, vocal surgeries, and vocal pedagogy. The website presents detailed information about medical procedures, vocal training camps, and collaborations with music academies, targeting patients, vocalists, and educators. The technical infrastructure is basic, relying on standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern frameworks or CMS. The site lacks HTTPS and security headers, which poses security risks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting user trust and compliance. Overall, the site is content-rich but technically outdated and with weak security posture.

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 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

    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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 business operates in a niche healthcare and education sector in Latvia, providing voice-related medical services and vocal training. It collaborates with recognized institutions like the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, enhancing its credibility. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on patient care and professional vocal education. The website content indicates a small-sized organization with a local market focus. There is no evidence of extensive digital marketing or analytics usage. The lack of modern web technologies and security features suggests limited digital maturity. The absence of contact details and privacy policies may impact customer confidence and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. It lacks HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers are implemented, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The absence of secure forms or input validation further weakens security. These gaps could lead to reputational damage and regulatory penalties if personal data is processed. Immediate improvements in SSL implementation, security headers, and privacy compliance are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and security incident reporting.
  4. Enhance website security by adding HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Modernize the website with responsive design and accessibility improvements to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any detected CMS or modern frameworks. The site is not mobile optimized and lacks accessibility features. Performance is moderate but could be improved with modern technologies. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user data collection. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible from the content. The absence of HTTPS and security headers is a significant technical risk. The site structure is simple with clear navigation but outdated design and limited interactivity.
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.
