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

Latitude59 is a well-established flagship startup and technology event based in Estonia, with a history dating back to 2012. It serves as a key platform for startups, investors, partners, and media to connect and showcase innovation. The website reflects a mature event organization with a strong international presence, offering pitch competitions, investor days, and satellite events worldwide. The business model centers on event management and ecosystem development within the technology sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and PixelYourSite. The site is optimized for SEO and mobile devices, with a good user experience and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is good, with a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy and GDPR adherence.

Overall, Latitude59's website demonstrates a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious digital presence aligned with its business objectives.

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

5 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Latitude59 holds a strong market position as Estonia's premier startup and tech event, attracting thousands of visitors and hundreds of investors annually. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing reputation, extensive partner network, and global satellite events. The business model relies on event ticket sales, sponsorships, and ecosystem partnerships. Target customers include startups seeking exposure and funding, investors looking for opportunities, and partners aiming to engage with the tech community. Growth indicators include expanding satellite events and increasing prize pools for pitch competitions. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, including government bodies, innovation councils, venture capital firms, and international organizations. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on ecosystem building and international expansion to maintain leadership in the startup event space.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of security-related cookies such as XSRF-TOKEN and laravel_session. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes with detailed categories and user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the site follows good security practices but could enhance its posture by implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, PixelYourSite, and Plausible Analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site uses CDN services for scripts and styles, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. The presence of cookie consent and privacy management tools demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations.

Hosting is managed by Elkdata OÜ, consistent with the domain registrar information. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
