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

Baltic Dental Services is a small healthcare business specializing in affordable dental treatments located in Riga, Latvia. The company targets cost-conscious patients, particularly dental tourists from Europe, offering a range of cosmetic and general dental services. The website presents a professional image with clear service descriptions, testimonials, and contact information, positioning itself as a quality yet affordable alternative to Western European dental clinics. The business is part of Baltic Medical Group and has been operating since 2006, supported by consistent domain registration data. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.7.2 and integrates common marketing and analytics tools like Google Analytics and ShareThis. However, the site lacks modern security practices, notably missing HTTPS and loading some external resources over unsecured HTTP. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. SEO and metadata are present but could be improved for better digital maturity. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and security headers, combined with the use of outdated libraries and unsecured external scripts, lowers the security posture. Privacy compliance is minimal, with a basic privacy policy but no cookie consent or GDPR indicators. No incident response or security policies are published, which could be a concern for data protection and regulatory compliance. Overall, the website is functional and credible for its business purpose but requires significant improvements in security and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, updating security headers, modernizing the tech stack, and introducing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Baltic Dental Services operates in the healthcare sector focusing on dental tourism and local dental care in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in offering high-quality dental services at significantly lower prices compared to Western Europe, appealing to price-sensitive customers. The business model leverages Riga's accessibility and modern clinic facilities to attract international patients. Revenue streams likely include direct patient payments for cosmetic and general dental procedures. The company maintains a professional online presence with testimonials and clear contact channels, supporting customer trust and engagement. Growth potential exists through expanding digital marketing and improving online user experience. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. Key vulnerabilities include lack of HTTPS, absence of security headers, use of outdated JavaScript libraries, and unsecured external resource loading. These issues expose the site and its visitors to risks such as data interception, script injection, and privacy violations. The site lacks published incident response or security policies, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is not evident, and no data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided. The business should prioritize securing its web presence to protect patient data and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS site-wide and ensure all external resources load over HTTPS to secure data in transit.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  5. Publish security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues, to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on legacy technology, primarily jQuery 1.7.2, with no detected CMS or modern frameworks. It integrates Google Analytics and ShareThis for marketing and tracking. The site is hosted via GoDaddy.com, LLC with DNS parking. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links present. Technical debt is evident in outdated scripts and unsecured resource loading. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS, updating libraries, improving mobile optimization, and enhancing accessibility features to improve user experience and security.
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.
