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

Grand Baltics is a specialized luxury travel agency and incoming tour operator focusing on tailor-made tours in the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The company offers high-end travel experiences including luxury accommodations, VIP transfers, professional guides, and exclusive activities targeting VIP clients and groups seeking premium travel services. The website reflects a niche market positioning with a clear focus on luxury Baltic travel. Technically, the website uses a basic but functional technology stack including jQuery and Google Analytics. Hosting is provided by Rackspeed Cloud. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, accessibility features are basic and there is room for improvement in modernizing the tech stack and enhancing mobile responsiveness. From a security perspective, the domain is well-registered with a long history and transfer protection enabled. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data. The site lacks a cookie consent mechanism and explicit privacy compliance indicators, which are important for GDPR compliance. No incident response or security policy information is published. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved. The overall risk is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and contact transparency would enhance trust and compliance. The business appears legitimate and stable with consistent WHOIS data and a professional web presence.

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

6 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.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Grand Baltics operates in the hospitality and transportation sectors as a small-sized luxury travel agency specializing in the Baltic region. Its competitive advantage lies in offering tailor-made, high-end travel experiences with a focus on VIP clientele. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through luxury tour packages, exclusive activities, and related travel services. The company has maintained a stable market presence since 2007, leveraging partnerships with industry associations and related Baltic travel sites. The website content and linked domains indicate a focused partnership ecosystem supporting its niche market. Growth indicators are moderate with a consistent brand presence and social media engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The domain registration is stable and trustworthy, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security posture. The website uses HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed), but no cookie consent or privacy compliance mechanisms are visible. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations exist due to missing cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The security culture appears basic with room for improvement in formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML structure with jQuery and Google Analytics for interactivity and tracking. Hosting is provided by Rackspeed Cloud, indicated by the nameservers. The site has a moderate performance profile with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation menus. There is no evidence of a modern CMS or advanced frameworks. The technical debt is moderate with opportunities to modernize the tech stack, improve security configurations, and enhance user experience on mobile devices.
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.
