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

Balttour.lv represents the Baltic region's premier international tourism exhibition organized by Starptautisko izstāžu rīkotājsabiedrība BT 1 in partnership with ALTA. The website showcases detailed event information, participant lists, news, and visitor guidance, targeting tourism professionals and general visitors interested in travel opportunities. The business holds a strong market position as a leading event organizer in the hospitality and tourism sector in Latvia. Technically, the website employs a mature technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various UI libraries, with integration of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured, though some older libraries like jQuery 1.11.2 are used, which may pose security risks. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and dedicated security or privacy policy pages. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy with consistent registrant information matching the business claims. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security practices.

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

9 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

    • 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

  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';…

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

Balttour operates as an event organizer focusing on tourism exhibitions, serving a medium-sized business model with partnerships including ALTA and BT 1. Its revenue streams likely include stand reservations, advertising, ticket sales, and conference room rentals. The target audience includes tourism operators, agencies, airlines, hotels, and visitors from the Baltic region and beyond. The company maintains a strong ecosystem of partners and leverages social media for engagement. Growth indicators include annual event updates and extensive news coverage. The business model is event-centric with a focus on hospitality and transportation sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version presents a potential vulnerability. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, indicating gaps in security governance. Data protection practices are basic, with no visible privacy policy or GDPR compliance statements. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other third-party libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly communicating GDPR adherence and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature but somewhat dated technology stack including Bootstrap and jQuery 1.11.2, along with UI libraries like Animate.css, Owl Carousel, Magnific Popup, and FancyBox. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts improving load times. However, the use of older jQuery versions and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt and potential security risks. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
