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

8 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

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      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

Balticfloc operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on sustainable and ecological building materials. Its competitive advantage lies in being the most experienced paper recycling company in Latvia with unique product offerings such as cellulose additives for asphalt and environmental absorption materials. The business model centers on producing and supplying recycled cellulose-based insulation and related products to construction, environmental, and animal care markets. The company targets environmentally conscious customers and industries requiring sustainable materials. Growth is supported by ongoing research collaborations and product innovation. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and clear contact information, supporting credibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a cookie consent mechanism indicate gaps in security best practices and GDPR compliance. No incident response or security policy pages were found, suggesting limited formal security governance transparency. The site does not publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve security culture and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a medium-sized business but could benefit from enhancements to align with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to communicate security governance and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 using popular plugins such as Elementor, SiteOrigin Panels, and AddToAny for social sharing. It employs Bootstrap and FontAwesome for responsive design and iconography. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for traffic and user behavior tracking. The site loads multiple optimized CSS and JS files, indicating some performance optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, with adaptive layouts and font loading optimizations. Accessibility features are basic but present. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. The site could improve by implementing additional security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to meet modern web standards and privacy regulations.
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.
