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

Baltic Express LV is a Latvian logistics company specializing in international consolidated cargo transportation by road, operating since 2004. The company differentiates itself with its own transport fleet, warehouse in Riga, and a network of partners across Europe. The website reflects a medium-sized business with a professional online presence, offering services such as customs clearance, cargo insurance, and additional sea transport. The site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools integrated, including Google Analytics and Tag Manager, and uses reCAPTCHA for form security. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers are missing and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is basic but includes a GDPR-compliant cookie banner and privacy policy. WHOIS data could not be retrieved, limiting domain trust verification, but the website content and business information appear consistent and legitimate. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility, with room for improvement in security policies and contact 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

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

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

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 Express LV holds a strong market position as a leader in consolidated cargo delivery in Latvia and Europe, leveraging over 20 years of experience. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive logistics solutions including own transport and warehousing, targeting businesses requiring reliable international freight services. The company maintains a broad partner network and serves over 5000 clients, indicating a stable and growing customer base. The website supports multiple languages (Latvian, English, Russian), enhancing accessibility for international clients. The presence of a client portal suggests a focus on customer service and operational efficiency. Strategic partnerships with technology providers and logistics platforms further strengthen their market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could impact trust and readiness in case of security incidents. The lack of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files indicates limited transparency in security practices. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and improving incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance site security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  4. Add direct company contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and communication.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics, with event tracking implemented for user interactions like clipboard copy. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection on forms. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with opportunities for further optimization 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.
