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

BalticVision is a specialized tour operator focused on providing guaranteed escorted tours in the Baltic Sea region. Their offerings include seasonal tours such as Christmas Markets, New Year celebrations, and summer tours covering Baltic countries, Poland, and Helsinki. The company positions itself as the largest provider in this niche, targeting travelers seeking affordable, high-quality, and culturally immersive travel experiences. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor, incorporating modern web technologies like jQuery, Swiper, and Lottie animations, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or security policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the professional website and social media presence lend credibility. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

BalticVision operates in the hospitality sector as a tour operator and distributor, focusing on the Baltic Sea region. Their business model relies on offering escorted tours with a strong emphasis on cultural and seasonal experiences. The company leverages a network of tour operators for distribution, indicating a B2B component. Market positioning as the largest provider in their niche suggests competitive advantage through scale and service quality. The website content and social media presence support brand awareness and customer engagement. Growth potential exists through expanding niche tours and enhancing digital marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company targets travelers interested in cultural and seasonal tours, likely from Europe and beyond.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy policies are in place, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may impact GDPR compliance. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small hospitality business but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate readiness and build trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. It uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper for slides, and Lottie for animations, enhancing user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized and has a clean, professional design. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the absence of advanced SEO meta tags and accessibility features suggests room for improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is appropriate for a small to medium-sized hospitality business but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
