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

Go Vilnius is the official city promotion platform for Vilnius, Lithuania, focusing on tourism, business investment, relocation, and event hosting. The website serves a diverse audience including tourists, professionals, and investors, providing comprehensive information and support services. The platform leverages modern web technologies and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and outreach. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit privacy and security policies are not clearly presented in the accessible content. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain trust verification, but the site’s professional presentation and official branding indicate legitimacy. Strategic improvements include publishing clear privacy and security policies and enhancing security headers.

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

5 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

      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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Go Vilnius occupies a strong market position as the official city promotion agency, leveraging partnerships with local business and event organizations such as International House Vilnius and Vilnius TechFusion. The business model is government-backed, focusing on city branding and economic development through tourism and business facilitation. The website’s content and linked domains suggest a well-established partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include the promotion of Vilnius as European Green Capital 2025 and Michelin-starred gastronomy. Revenue streams are likely government funding and possibly event-related services. The platform targets international visitors and professionals, emphasizing relocation and investment support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, there is a lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and no published security.txt or incident response contacts, which are best practices for transparency and vulnerability management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the content. The extensive use of third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risk, requiring careful management. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing security policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to balance marketing needs with user privacy and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies, likely React, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some heavy use of external scripts that may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to optimize script loading and enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
