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

Hotel Stelles, operated by SIA GIK, is a small hospitality business located in Tukums, Latvia, specializing in group accommodation and event space rental for up to 50 people. The website offers detailed information about their rooms, event halls, and catering options, targeting groups and business clients seeking comfortable lodging and venues for seminars, banquets, and social gatherings. The business maintains a local market position with clear contact channels and social media presence, enhancing customer engagement and trust. Technically, the website is built on the MultiScreenSite platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and service workers for PWA capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. However, some accessibility features are basic, and security headers are not explicitly detected, though HTTPS is properly enforced. From a security perspective, the site employs Google reCAPTCHA on its reservation form to mitigate spam and abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is partial; a privacy policy is present but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is recommended for GDPR adherence. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, Hotel Stelles presents a professional and trustworthy online presence suitable for its hospitality niche. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would enhance its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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

    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

    • 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

  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 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

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

Hotel Stelles operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on group accommodations and event hosting in the Tukums region of Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in offering tailored services for groups starting from five rooms, with facilities for business and social events. Revenue streams likely include room bookings, event space rental, and catering services. The target customer segments are corporate clients and social groups requiring event venues and lodging. The company leverages social media and online booking forms to drive engagement and conversions. Growth indicators include multilingual site support and integration of modern web analytics. The partnership ecosystem includes social platforms and messaging services like WhatsApp for direct communication. Operationally, the business maintains a small footprint with localized market focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent banner, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not published, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small hospitality business but can be improved by implementing recommended headers, cookie consent, and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly review and update WHOIS information and ensure domain registration details are accessible for trust verification.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience.
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.
