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

Baltic Beauty Awards is a regional initiative focused on recognizing innovation and sustainability in the Baltic beauty market. The website serves as an application and information portal for the awards event, showcasing finalists and promoting the associated Baltic Beauty exhibition. The business operates primarily as an event organizer and industry promoter within the retail beauty sector in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on Django with Bootstrap and HTMX, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, and includes Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and CSRF protections, but lacks some security headers and publicly available policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, but improvements in privacy transparency and security policies are recommended.

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

Business profile

The Baltic Beauty Awards positions itself as a niche event organizer within the Baltic beauty industry, targeting brands and companies focused on innovation and sustainability. Its competitive advantage lies in its regional focus and partnership with established entities like the Baltic Beauty exhibition and E-BEAUTY.LV portal. The business model revolves around event management, awards ceremonies, and product showcasing, likely generating revenue through sponsorships, registrations, and exhibition participation. The target customers include beauty brands, industry professionals, and consumers interested in cutting-edge beauty products. The partnership ecosystem includes local exhibition organizers and industry portals, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include annual award cycles and publicized finalist announcements. Strategic observations suggest expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS, Cloudflare DNS usage, and CSRF token implementation in forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for maturity improvement. Compliance with GDPR is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reporting.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Django as the backend framework, Bootstrap for responsive design, and HTMX for enhanced interactivity without heavy JavaScript frameworks. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, improving performance and security. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile optimized with good SEO meta tags and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Accessibility is basic but functional. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement advanced security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business goals effectively.
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.
