BSM (Baltic School of Ministry) is a small educational non-profit organization based in Latvia, offering a one-year intensive Christian ministry training program. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Elementor and WooCommerce, hosted on DigitalOcean. It targets new and existing Christian believers seeking to deepen their faith and ministry skills. The site features clear contact information, social media integration, and testimonials, indicating a well-established presence since 2009 with over 280 graduates. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and includes Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled, but lacks explicit security headers and privacy/cookie policies, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, but the website content and technical setup suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy for its intended audience.

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.

Priority findings

11 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

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

BSM holds a niche position in the Baltic region as a Christian educational institution with a decade-long history. Its business model focuses on delivering a structured one-year program combining spiritual, academic, and practical ministry training. The organization leverages digital channels including social media and a professional website to attract applicants. The presence of testimonials and a clear application process supports credibility. The use of WooCommerce hints at possible e-commerce or payment processing capabilities, likely for program fees. The organization appears to maintain a focused target audience and steady growth, with no evident partnerships or subsidiaries disclosed on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency in security management. Regular updates and security hardening are advised to maintain and improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact information for data protection officer or security incidents to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and WooCommerce plugin, hosted on DigitalOcean. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper for UI components. Google Analytics and Jetpack Stats are integrated for visitor analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and caching likely in place. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms require improvement.
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.
