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

Duty Free Baltics SIA is a specialized wholesale company operating near Riga port, focusing on supplying duty-free alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, and electronics to duty-free zones primarily in the Baltic Sea region, Russia, and CIS countries. The company targets ship supply companies and duty-free zone suppliers, offering a comprehensive range of logistics and supply services. The website reflects a professional business with clear service descriptions and contact information, supporting its regional market position. Technically, the website employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.9.1 and uses popular JavaScript sliders and Google Analytics for tracking. While the site is accessible and functional, it lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries, which may expose it to vulnerabilities. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but could benefit from improvements in accessibility and performance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but does not present visible security headers or incident response information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies despite a GDPR menu link indicates compliance gaps. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site presents moderate risk with recommendations to update technical components and enhance privacy and security disclosures. Strategically, the company should prioritize updating its technical stack, implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and publishing security and incident response information to improve trust and compliance. Enhancing mobile optimization and accessibility will also improve user experience and broaden market reach.

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

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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Duty Free Baltics operates in the retail and transportation sectors, focusing on wholesale distribution of duty-free goods. Its competitive advantage lies in its strategic location near Riga port and specialization in supplying duty-free zones in the Baltic and CIS regions. The business model centers on B2B wholesale supply with logistics and storage services. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and logistics services. The target customers are ship supply companies and duty-free retailers. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem including logistics and IT service providers (e.g., iconcept.lv). Growth indicators are not explicit but the extensive product assortment and service list suggest a stable regional presence. The website content and contact details support a credible business operation with room for digital maturity improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.9.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, and no security or privacy policies are published despite GDPR references. Data protection officer contact or security contacts are not provided. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms further indicates compliance gaps. While no exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities are detected, the site would benefit from modernization of its security controls and transparency to align with GDPR and industry best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add and configure essential security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience and meet modern standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack including jQuery 1.9.1, SKD Slider, Jssor Slider, and Modernizr. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site lacks a detectable CMS and appears custom-built. Performance is moderate with some modern JavaScript libraries but outdated core dependencies. SEO and accessibility are basic with proper viewport meta tags and font usage but no advanced structured data or ARIA roles. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible. The site is moderately optimized for desktop but has limited mobile optimization. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security headers, presenting modernization opportunities to reduce risk and improve performance.
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.
