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

SIA "Hotel Kolumbs" operates a hospitality business based in Liepāja, Latvia, offering accommodation, conference facilities, a restaurant, and wellness amenities such as sauna and jacuzzi. The website targets both local residents and visitors, providing comprehensive information and booking options. The company positions itself as a comfortable and convenient hotel with additional services like electric vehicle charging, enhancing its appeal in the local market. Technically, the website is built on a modern CMS platform with integration of popular analytics and tracking tools, and it employs HTTPS with service worker support for improved user experience. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and CAPTCHA on contact forms, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy. Privacy compliance is well addressed with visible privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which impacts overall trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, publishing incident response information, and verifying domain registration details to enhance credibility.

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. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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

    • 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

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

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 hospitality sector with a focus on hotel accommodation, conference and seminar hosting, and dining services. Its partnership with a local restaurant is evident, expanding its service offerings. The business model relies on direct bookings and event hosting, targeting both local and visiting clientele. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a professional online presence. The use of multiple languages and integration with booking platforms suggests a moderate digital maturity. The company maintains active social media channels and provides clear contact information, supporting customer engagement and trust. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital marketing and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, CAPTCHA on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks several important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and content injection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues. There is no visible incident response or security policy published, which limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small hospitality business but could be improved with better header implementation and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration details to ensure transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the multiscreensite.com CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery 3.7.0, YouTube iframe API, Google Analytics (gtag.js), and Snowplow analytics. It employs service workers for offline support and uses Mapbox and Google Maps for geolocation features. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting is via a CDN (static.cdn-website.com), which supports moderate performance. Accessibility is basic but functional. The technical stack is appropriate for a small hospitality business, though there is room for improvement in security headers and performance optimization.
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.
