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

HRM4Baltics is a technology company offering a modern HRM and payroll management solution targeted at medium to large enterprises primarily in the Baltic region. The company provides a comprehensive software platform that automates personnel and payroll processes across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, emphasizing integration, automation, and user experience. The website demonstrates a strong market position with over 100 trusted clients and multilingual support, reflecting regional focus and business maturity. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern performance optimizations such as WP Rocket, Google Fonts, and integration with analytics tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with structured data and Open Graph metadata enhancing discoverability. However, some security best practices like DNSSEC and security headers are missing, and privacy compliance elements such as privacy and cookie policies are not present. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in analytics, but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration is recent but consistent with the business age and shows no suspicious patterns. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional policies and technical controls. The overall risk assessment indicates a professionally managed website with good technical and business credibility but with gaps in privacy compliance and security policy transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

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

HRM4Baltics operates in the HR technology sector, providing a SaaS solution for payroll and personnel management tailored for medium and large enterprises in the Baltic states. The company leverages a business model focused on software subscriptions and service integration. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive automation, regional language support, and trusted partnerships with over 100 companies, including notable regional brands. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring banks, educational institutions, and retail companies, indicating strong market penetration and credibility. Growth indicators include recent domain registration aligned with product launch and active content updates. The company targets enterprises requiring advanced HRM capabilities with compliance and integration needs, positioning itself as a leading regional HRM platform.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. However, it lacks several security best practices such as DNSSEC, security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options), and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business profile, reducing suspicion. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the security posture would benefit from enhanced technical controls and documented policies to improve compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with clear contact channels.
  5. Provide direct contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Performance optimizations are implemented via WP Rocket, including lazy loading and resource minification. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Analytics integration includes Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior insights. However, the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, and DNSSEC is not enabled. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates areas for technical and compliance improvement. Overall, the infrastructure is modern and performant but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
