Latitude Yachts is a specialized shipyard based in Latvia, established in 2002, focusing on the construction of high-quality yachts and superyachts. The company has a strong reputation in the luxury yacht market, evidenced by its ISO 9001:2008 certification and notable projects such as the Galaxy of Happiness. Their business model centers on bespoke yacht building with a commitment to craftsmanship and advanced technologies.

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

6 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 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

Latitude Yachts occupies a niche segment in the luxury yacht manufacturing industry, leveraging craftsmanship and innovation to differentiate itself. The company benefits from strategic partnerships with marine suppliers and European entities, enhancing its supply chain and market reach. Its business model is project-based, focusing on custom yacht builds and engineering services. The presence of awards and media coverage strengthens its market position. The company targets affluent clients and yacht enthusiasts, with growth potential tied to expanding luxury maritime markets. The website supports lead generation through contact forms and showcases projects effectively, though lacks comprehensive legal and privacy disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS assumed but no explicit security headers detected. The use of CAPTCHA and CSRF tokens on the contact form indicates awareness of common web security practices. However, the absence of Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and other headers reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern front-end stack using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and YouTube Player API for embedded video content. The use of htmx indicates progressive enhancement for form handling. Google Fonts and FontAwesome provide typography and iconography. The site does not appear to use a common CMS, suggesting a custom or bespoke platform. Hosting is likely with GoDaddy as registrar, but no explicit hosting provider data is available. Performance is moderate with some animations and video background that may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. SEO meta tags are minimal, with no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
