Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website "manieres.lv" represents a small Latvian ballroom dance school offering courses and social dance event services. It has a well-structured WordPress-based site with a focus on ballroom dance education, targeting individuals interested in social dancing and cultural integration. The site uses standard web technologies including WordPress, jQuery, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA for form security. While the site is accessible and professionally presented, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance concern. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA implemented, but the use of an outdated jQuery version and absence of HTTP security headers present vulnerabilities. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust assessment. Overall, the site is functional and credible but would benefit from improved security and privacy 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

12 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Manieres.lv operates in the hospitality and education sectors, focusing on ballroom dance training and event participation. The business model revolves around group and private dance lessons, wedding dance preparation, and ticket sales for dance events. The company appears to have a strong local presence with 25 years of experience, leveraging social media and online forms for customer engagement. The target market includes dance enthusiasts and social event attendees in Latvia. The absence of detailed company registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence. The site’s use of Google Forms and social media indicates a lean operational model with digital engagement. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, which are positive security practices. However, the presence of an outdated jQuery library version (1.12.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to common web attacks. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in library updates, header implementation, and privacy compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a visible consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of plugins and themes to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
  5. Add clear security and incident response contact information to demonstrate readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.3.18 with a classic tech stack including jQuery 1.12.4, Google Analytics via MonsterInsights, Contact Form 7, and FooBox Image Lightbox. The site loads moderate resources and appears to have good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with standard meta tags and RSS feeds. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection on forms. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. Technical debt is indicated by outdated jQuery and lack of modern security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve compliance and security posture.
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.
