Security score

46/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Beauty Institute operates as the official importer and distributor of CNC Cosmetic products in Latvia, focusing on wholesale cosmetics, cosmetology equipment sales and rental, and professional training services. The website targets beauty salons and cosmetologists, providing a comprehensive product catalog and educational resources. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, enhanced by popular plugins and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and privacy policy implemented via Iubenda, though improvements are needed in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the professional presentation and clear contact information support business credibility. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and well-positioned within its niche.

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

8 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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 holds a strong market position as the official CNC Cosmetic distributor in Latvia, leveraging partnerships and training to enhance client success. Its business model combines product sales, equipment rental, and education, targeting professional beauty service providers. The website reflects a focused approach with detailed product categories and recent additions, supporting ongoing customer engagement. Marketing tools and social media integration suggest active customer acquisition and retention strategies. The lack of visible certifications or extensive compliance documentation indicates room for growth in formal trust signals. The company appears small but specialized, with a clear regional focus and a stable digital presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing, which is positive. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could be a gap in security governance. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam on forms, enhancing input security. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms, which is important under GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish terms of service and an incident response policy to strengthen legal and security posture.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and popular CMS (WordPress) with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, supported by WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution for content presentation. It integrates multiple third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and user experience enhancement, including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Iubenda for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is well-established but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
