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

Baltic Business Advice is a small, growing Latvian company specializing in debt collection and legal services. Their website presents a professional image with clear descriptions of their key services including out-of-court debt collection, court-based debt recovery, debtor portfolio purchasing, and legal service provision. The company targets businesses and creditors requiring assistance in financial recovery and legal representation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins for SEO and sliders, and enforces HTTPS via JavaScript redirect. However, it lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and security hardening. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full trust verification, but the site content and structure suggest a legitimate business presence.

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

10 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

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

The company operates in the finance sector focusing on debt recovery and legal services in the Baltic region. Their business model is service-oriented, providing both extrajudicial and judicial debt recovery solutions, as well as legal documentation and representation. The website content and structure indicate a focus on small to medium enterprises as clients. The lack of visible partner or subsidiary domains suggests a standalone operation. The company maintains a privacy policy page indicating GDPR awareness but lacks cookie consent banners. The presence of a contact phone number and structured data enhances business credibility. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functionalities are evident on the site.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a critical security baseline. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site uses common WordPress plugins, which if not regularly updated, could pose security risks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may present GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Obtain and publish WHOIS domain registration details or use a WHOIS privacy service justified by business needs.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO, LayerSlider, and Slider Revolution plugins, indicating a standard content management and presentation stack. The site uses jQuery and custom theme scripts for UI interactions. Performance appears moderate with minified CSS and JS caching enabled. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by Yoast plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format for organization and website schema. Accessibility is basic with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks detected. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. The site enforces HTTPS via JavaScript redirect but lacks HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header indication.
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.
