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

Hotel Vilhelmine is a small hospitality business located in the historic center of Liepāja, Latvia, offering hotel accommodation services including rooms, breakfast, free internet, and parking. The website supports multiple languages (Latvian, English, Russian) and provides an online reservation form for customer convenience. The business targets general travelers and tourists seeking comfortable lodging in a historic setting. Technically, the website employs a traditional tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI libraries such as Nivo Slider and Blueimp Gallery. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and has basic SEO and accessibility features. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. However, the site lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by external HTTPS resources), but no explicit security headers or advanced protections are detected. The reservation form posts data to a PHP script opened in a new tab, which could raise user experience or phishing concerns. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices. The overall risk is moderate with no critical issues detected. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and WHOIS transparency would enhance trust and reduce risk. The business appears legitimate and focused on hospitality services with a clear local market 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.

Priority findings

10 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 Vilhelmine operates as a local hotel business in Latvia's Liepāja city center, targeting tourists and travelers. Its competitive advantage lies in its historic ambiance combined with modern amenities. The business model is straightforward hospitality accommodation with online booking capabilities. Revenue streams likely come from room bookings and ancillary services such as breakfast and parking. The website's multilingual support indicates an intent to attract international visitors. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the site. Growth indicators are limited but the presence of online booking and Google Analytics suggests some digital maturity. The company maintains direct contact channels but lacks social media presence, which could be an area for expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS usage and form-based data collection. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important to mitigate common web attacks. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy compliance statements indicates GDPR compliance gaps. The form's target behavior (opening in a new tab) is unusual and could confuse users or be exploited for phishing. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify via external tools.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance.
  4. Review and improve the reservation form UX and security, avoiding opening submission in a new tab.
  5. Obtain and publish WHOIS data or use a WHOIS privacy service transparently to improve domain trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web technology stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI enhancement libraries. It loads multiple Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons for styling. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and uses a slider for image presentation. Performance is average with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Accessibility is basic with some semantic HTML but no ARIA landmarks or advanced features. SEO is basic with meta tags but no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the content. The site contains some PHP backend scripts for reservation processing but no further backend details are visible.
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.
