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

Baltic Watches is a specialized retailer and service center for luxury Swiss watches located in Riga, Latvia. The company offers buying, selling, exchange, warranty, and repair services for high-end watches, targeting customers primarily in the Baltic region and Europe. The website is professionally designed with multilingual support and showcases a curated catalog of luxury watch brands. Customer trust is supported by positive reviews from Google and Chrono24. Technically, the website uses modern tracking and consent management tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and CookieYes for cookie consent. The site is hosted on a stable domain registered since 2016 with a long-term expiry, indicating business stability. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is moderate due to the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional digital presence for a niche luxury retail business.

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

6 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google Ads

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

Baltic Watches operates in the luxury retail sector focusing on Swiss watches, combining sales and after-sales services. The business model includes purchasing pre-owned watches, selling authenticated luxury watches, and providing repair and warranty services. The company leverages positive customer feedback and brand partnerships to maintain a strong market position in the Baltics. Multilingual support and online catalog accessibility indicate an intent to serve a wider European clientele. The absence of explicit business registration details on the website suggests a focus on customer-facing services rather than corporate transparency online. The use of established analytics and marketing tools supports data-driven business decisions and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS encryption and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that categorizes cookies and allows user preferences. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No published security policy or incident response contact information is available, which limits transparency in handling security incidents. The domain registration is stable and public, with no privacy protection, supporting legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could be improved with additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

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.
