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

Baltic Partners is a small financial advisory firm focused on providing independent advisory services in the Baltic countries and the broader Central and Eastern European region, including Ukraine. Their core services include M&A advisory, fundraising, capital markets advisory, and financial advisory to prepare companies for transactions. The company has a regional presence with offices in Latvia and Ukraine and has received industry recognition for its work. The website is built on WordPress using Bootstrap and FontAwesome, indicating a standard modern web infrastructure but with basic technical sophistication. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features and does not implement privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance given their European focus. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing key security headers and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the website presents a professional but basic digital presence with room for improvement in security, privacy compliance, and technical optimization.

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

10 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

  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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 · 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 Partners operates in the finance sector, targeting businesses in the Baltic and CEE regions seeking financial advisory services. Their competitive advantage lies in regional expertise and a track record of over 20 closed transactions, including private equity deals. The business model centers on advisory fees from M&A, fundraising, and capital markets transactions. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem evidenced by membership in the Latvian Venture Capital Association. Growth indicators include industry nominations and awards. However, the website lacks comprehensive digital marketing and analytics tools, which may limit lead generation and market reach.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. HTTPS is implemented, but the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No forms are present to assess secure data handling. The lack of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks but also limits insights into user behavior. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.
  5. Integrate analytics and marketing tools with privacy-respecting configurations to support business growth.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and FontAwesome icons, indicating a standard and widely supported technology stack. The site loads external CSS and JS resources from its own domain and trusted sources. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO optimization is minimal with no Open Graph or structured data markup detected. No forms or interactive elements are present on the homepage, limiting data collection capabilities. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but basic, with opportunities for modernization and improved performance.
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.
