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

BaltCap is a leading private equity and venture capital firm operating primarily in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The company focuses on investing in small and medium enterprises with a strategy encompassing buyout, growth, and infrastructure funds. BaltCap positions itself as the largest and most experienced private equity investor in the region, emphasizing building business champions and sustainable growth. The website reflects a mature and professional business with comprehensive portfolio details, recent news updates, and testimonials from key stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and employs cookie consent mechanisms indicating GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and structured data enhancing search visibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration. While no explicit HTTP security headers were detected in the provided data, best practices such as opening external links with noopener and a cookie consent banner are implemented. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency. Overall, BaltCap's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, content quality, and technical maturity. The main risk lies in the missing WHOIS data, which should be investigated further to ensure domain ownership legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response policies, and adding a security.txt file to improve vulnerability disclosure transparency.

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

5 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

BaltCap operates in the finance sector with a focus on private equity and venture capital investments in the Baltic region. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive track record of over 25 years, a diversified portfolio across sectors such as energy, transportation, education, and digital infrastructure, and a clear buy-and-build strategy. Revenue streams are primarily from investment returns and portfolio management. The target customers include SMEs seeking growth capital and investors looking for regional exposure. The company maintains strong partnerships with European funds and regional development organizations. The website's detailed portfolio and news sections indicate active deal flow and investor communication, supporting growth and transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of cookie consent scripts aligns with privacy regulations. However, the lack of detected HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS suggests room for improvement. No public security or incident response policies were found, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The missing WHOIS data is a notable gap in domain transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a public security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

BaltCap's website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Enfold theme, which provides a responsive and modern design. The site uses jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking user behavior. The presence of cookie consent scripts indicates compliance with GDPR. Performance is moderate with optimized images and lazy loading techniques. The site is mobile-friendly and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the absence of explicit security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to enhance security and trustworthiness.
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.
