Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Baltic Color is a Latvian company specializing in powder coating services and related equipment sales and servicing. Established in 2000, it operates two production facilities in Riga and holds official distributorships for several powder coating equipment manufacturers. The company targets business clients in the industrial manufacturing and metal surface treatment sectors. The website is built on Bitrix CMS and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. While the site provides clear contact information and detailed service descriptions, it lacks published privacy, cookie, and security policies, which impacts compliance and trust. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms.

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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 Color holds a leading position in Latvia's powder coating market with a diversified business model including service provision, equipment sales, and maintenance. Its partnerships with manufacturers like Gema and Start enhance its market credibility. The company focuses on B2B clients requiring industrial coating solutions. The website content is business-focused but basic in design and navigation. The absence of social media presence and limited digital marketing tools suggest moderate digital maturity. The company appears medium-sized with a stable market presence since 2000.

Security posture

The website lacks visible security headers and published security or incident response policies, indicating a low to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS usage could not be confirmed from the data, and no forms or sensitive data collection points were detected, reducing immediate risk exposure. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. The company should improve its security posture by implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with HSTS and verify SSL configuration.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  5. Improve website mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bitrix CMS and includes JavaScript libraries and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is basic but functional, with some legacy code patterns. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices detected. SEO is basic with meta keywords and description tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. No forms or interactive elements were found, limiting data collection risks but also user engagement. The site could benefit from modernization and improved technical SEO and accessibility features.
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.
