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

Baltic Beauty Awards is a specialized event and awards organizer focused on recognizing innovation and sustainability in the Baltic beauty product market. The website serves as a platform to showcase finalists and promote the annual awards ceremony, targeting beauty industry professionals and brands within the Baltic region. The business operates as a small entity closely linked with the Baltic Beauty exhibition and the E-BEAUTY.LV portal, positioning itself as a niche leader in regional beauty industry recognition. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including Django, Bootstrap, HTMX, and uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services. It is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and integrates Google Analytics 4 for user tracking. The site is performant with moderate loading speeds and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, it lacks important security headers and does not publish privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No contact information or incident response channels are provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with no adult or questionable content. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and security policy transparency. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

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

Baltic Beauty Awards operates in the retail sector, specifically within the beauty industry niche in Latvia and the Baltic region. Its competitive advantage lies in its exclusive focus on innovation and sustainability in beauty products, supported by partnerships with established industry exhibitions and portals. The business model revolves around event organization, product showcasing, and industry recognition, targeting beauty brands and professionals. Revenue streams likely include event participation fees, sponsorships, and promotional activities. The partnership ecosystem includes Baltic Beauty exhibition and E-BEAUTY.LV, enhancing market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include annual award cycles and increasing finalist participation. The company maintains a focused market presence without evident diversification or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection implemented. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. GDPR compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears basic but with room for improvement to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and maintainable technology stack centered on Django with Bootstrap for responsive design and HTMX for dynamic content loading. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 are integrated for analytics and marketing. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and hreflang attributes. Performance is moderate with no major technical debt observed. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce risk.
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.
