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

The International Baltic Ballet Competition website serves as the official online presence for a well-established cultural event held in Riga, Latvia, since 2013. It provides detailed information about the competition, including participant winners, jury members, event schedules, and gala concerts. The target audience includes ballet dancers, enthusiasts, and cultural event attendees. The business model revolves around event organization, promotion, and ticket sales. The website is built on WordPress and uses common front-end libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Flexslider, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity. However, the site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features and has only basic mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak, with no privacy or cookie policies found and Google Analytics included but not fully configured. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

8 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

    • 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

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

  2. 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 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 International Baltic Ballet Competition holds a niche position in the cultural and performing arts sector, focusing on ballet competitions with international participation. Its competitive advantage lies in its established history since 2013 and international jury and participants. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales for competition rounds and gala concerts, sponsorships, and possibly masterclasses. The target customer segments are ballet professionals, students, and cultural audiences primarily in Latvia and the Baltic region but also internationally. The partnership ecosystem includes cultural institutions and ballet schools. The website content and event details suggest a focused and well-organized operation with growth potential through enhanced digital presence and marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are essential to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and incident response readiness. Google Analytics is present but not properly configured, potentially leading to privacy compliance issues. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided for security or incident reporting. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with room for significant improvement in headers, policies, and monitoring.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Configure Google Analytics properly or remove it if not used to avoid unnecessary data collection.
  4. Add a security.txt file and establish a vulnerability disclosure process to enhance incident response readiness.
  5. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using standard front-end libraries such as jQuery 3.3.1, Bootstrap, Flexslider, and Fancybox. It uses Google Fonts for typography. The site loads asynchronously Google Analytics scripts but lacks proper configuration. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements, but mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. No advanced SEO meta tags or structured data (JSON-LD, Open Graph) were found. The site performance is moderate, with multiple large images used in sliders. No hosting provider information is discernible from the content. The site would benefit from improved SEO, accessibility, and performance optimizations.
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.
