Founded in 2013 by experienced specialists, the company has grown to operate three production plants and produces approximately 100 drying chambers annually. Their services include design, manufacturing, installation, automation, and after-sales support, targeting wood processing companies primarily in Europe and neighboring regions. The website is built on Joomla CMS with a moderate technical infrastructure and good mobile optimization.

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

9 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

Balt Brand holds a solid position in the wood processing manufacturing sector, leveraging over 15 years of expertise. Their business model focuses on project-based manufacturing with a strong emphasis on innovation in energy efficiency and automation. The company maintains partnerships with several industry-related firms, enhancing its market reach. Growth indicators include expansion to multiple production facilities and participation in international exhibitions. Revenue streams likely derive from equipment sales, installation services, and ongoing support contracts. The website content and partner listings support a credible and established business presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no explicit security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. Forms appear minimal and no sensitive data exposure is visible. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content. Recommendations include implementing security headers, establishing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO optimization for better user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with Helix3 framework and common frontend libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. It integrates YouTube iframe API for video content and Owl Carousel for partner logos. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy.com, LLC. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The technical stack is standard for SME manufacturing websites but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
