Risk levelHigh

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

Bauskas alus is a Latvian brewery with a long-standing tradition since 1981, specializing in beer production and related services such as retail sales, tours, and cooling equipment rental. The website reflects a medium-sized manufacturing business with a clear focus on local market presence and maintaining quality traditions. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress, utilizing common web technologies like jQuery, Swiper.js, and Google services for fonts, maps, and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and includes essential SEO and accessibility features, though some improvements are possible. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration verification, but the website content and business information appear consistent and legitimate. Overall, the site is professional, user-friendly, and compliant with GDPR requirements for cookie usage and age verification for alcohol content.

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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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 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 · 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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector focused on alcoholic beverages, specifically beer. It targets a mature audience with age verification mechanisms in place. The business model includes production, retail, and equipment rental, indicating diversified revenue streams. The website's market positioning is that of an established local brewery with a heritage dating back to 1981. The digital presence supports brand consistency and customer engagement through tours and product information. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified. Growth indicators include modernized production facilities and online marketing tools. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance security transparency and contact accessibility to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are absent, which could hinder effective handling of security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Connect introduces potential risks that require regular auditing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be improved with enhanced header configurations and clearer security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add clear and accessible contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to enhance trust and communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google Fonts and Google Maps API are used for typography and location services respectively. The site loads external scripts asynchronously and defers JavaScript to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and clear navigation menus. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO structured data and meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing maintenance to avoid 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.
