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

Baltic Rail AS is a medium-sized transportation company specializing in container-train operations and intermodal rail services primarily in the Baltic Adriatic Rail Corridor. Established in 2008 and owned by the Rail World Group, it operates container terminals and warehousing facilities in Estonia and Poland, serving key locations such as Wroclaw, Katowice, Ostrava, and Koper. The company targets businesses requiring efficient rail freight and logistics solutions in Central and Eastern Europe. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and active news updates, indicating ongoing operations and market presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and jQuery, and employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. However, some security best practices such as security headers are missing, and no privacy or cookie policies are published, which impacts compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, as it conflicts with the business history claimed and may indicate domain registration issues. Overall, the site is trustworthy but would benefit from improved transparency and security documentation. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, adding a vulnerability disclosure policy, and resolving WHOIS registration inconsistencies to enhance trust and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

      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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 Rail holds a solid position as a regional rail freight operator with a decade-plus operational history. Its business model focuses on intermodal transport, terminal management, and logistics services, catering to freight customers in the Baltic and Central European regions. The company leverages partnerships and sister companies like Rail Polska to extend its network. Revenue streams likely derive from container transport, terminal handling, warehousing, and value-added services such as customs clearance and container maintenance. The presence of industry memberships and certifications supports its credibility. Growth indicators include recent investments in terminal equipment and active communication of operational results. The company targets logistics providers, shipping lines, and industrial customers requiring rail freight solutions. The website's content and structure support these business goals effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protects forms against spam and abuse. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML source. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which is a gap in responsible security practices. GDPR compliance is not clearly addressed due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by adopting standard security headers, publishing policies, and enhancing compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Resolve domain WHOIS registration inconsistencies to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Add an incident response contact or security policy page to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactive elements. It uses common plugins such as Contact Form 7 for forms and Ari Fancy Lightbox for media display. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for spam protection. The site loads a variety of external resources including Google Fonts and Snazzy Maps for map styling. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential outdated plugins if not regularly maintained. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
