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

Balticscaffold.com is a small business website focused on scaffolding services primarily targeting the construction and industrial sectors in Latvia. The website serves as a minimal landing page with basic branding and contact information, indicating a niche regional service provider. The business appears to have been established in 2018, consistent with the domain registration date. The site lacks detailed business descriptions, privacy policies, or terms of service, limiting its digital maturity and compliance posture. Technically, the website is built with standard HTML and CSS, using custom fonts and simple responsive design techniques. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, and no advanced CMS or frameworks are detected. Performance and mobile optimization are basic but functional. There is no evidence of analytics, tracking, or advertising technologies, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights. From a security perspective, the domain registration includes protective status flags preventing unauthorized changes, which is positive. However, the website lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and visible HTTPS enforcement, which are areas for improvement. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile but also shows limited security and compliance maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, HTTPS enforcement, and privacy documentation are recommended to enhance trust and regulatory 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.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

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

Balticscaffold.com operates in the scaffolding and construction services sector, serving a regional market in Latvia. The business model is B2B, providing scaffolding rental and installation services. The company appears to be small-sized with a focused market niche. The website's minimal content and lack of detailed business information suggest a limited digital marketing strategy. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the domain or website content. The absence of social media or analytics tools indicates a low digital footprint. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not discernible from the website. The company could benefit from expanding its online presence and providing more comprehensive business information to improve market positioning.

Security posture

The current security posture of Balticscaffold.com is basic with several gaps. The domain registration includes strong protective status flags, which is a positive indicator of domain security. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation exposes the domain to potential DNS spoofing risks. The website does not display common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no visible HTTPS enforcement or SSL configuration details, which could impact data confidentiality and user trust. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related privacy regulations. The absence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms further limits the security maturity. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from implementing modern web security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML and CSS with custom fonts and a simple responsive layout. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks, indicating a lightweight and straightforward technical infrastructure. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no visible heavy scripts or third-party integrations. Mobile optimization is present but basic. The lack of analytics or tracking scripts reduces complexity but also limits marketing insights. Technical debt appears low due to the minimalistic design, but modernization opportunities include adding HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and structured data for SEO improvements.
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.
