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

Guitar Place is a Latvian-based educational website offering guitar playing courses primarily targeted at individuals interested in learning guitar in Riga. The website provides free introductory lessons and subscription-based courses, positioning itself as a local provider in the music education sector. The content is presented in Latvian with an option for Russian language, indicating a regional focus. Technically, the site is built on the Tilda CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site includes multimedia content such as embedded videos hosted on Dropbox and uses CDN services for static assets. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS as indicated by URLs, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy page, suggesting GDPR awareness. However, no terms of service, security policy, or incident response information is available. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professionally designed but could improve in security posture and transparency of business contact information.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

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

The business operates in the education sector, focusing on music and guitar courses. Its business model revolves around offering courses and lessons, including free introductory sessions to attract customers. The target audience is local residents in Riga and surrounding areas interested in learning guitar. The website's use of testimonials and localized content supports its market positioning as a trusted local provider. The use of Tilda CMS and embedded multimedia content indicates a modern approach to digital presence. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers may limit direct customer engagement. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The business appears small in size with a focused niche market. Growth potential could be enhanced by expanding contact options and improving security and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policy indicates some compliance with data protection regulations. However, the absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel introduces moderate tracking but no explicit data retention policies are disclosed. Recommendations include implementing security headers, enhancing form security, and publishing security and incident response policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear terms of service, security policy, and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add explicit company contact information such as verified emails and phone numbers to facilitate customer and security communications.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing user controls over tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Tilda CMS platform, leveraging JavaScript and jQuery libraries along with Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Static assets are served via Tilda's CDN, ensuring reasonable performance and availability. The site includes embedded videos hosted on Dropbox, integrated with custom video player controls. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good navigation clarity. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing video delivery and script loading. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
