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.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company is positioned as a medium-sized hospitality network with multiple hotel brands under its umbrella, serving both leisure and business travelers. Revenue streams likely include room bookings, event hosting, and wellness services. The presence of a dedicated booking partner (book-secure.com) indicates a strategic partnership for reservations. Social media presence across major platforms supports marketing efforts. The website content and structure suggest a focus on quality service and regional market leadership in Latvia's hotel sector.
Security posture
The website uses HTTPS and includes Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating awareness of basic security practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or security policies are published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to strengthen DNS and HTTP header security.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerability risks.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme, with jQuery and Google Tag Manager integrated for functionality and analytics. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, and Google reCAPTCHA is used for spam protection. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, including Google Fonts for typography. Hosting and domain registration are managed via GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. Some CSS and JS files are minified, indicating optimization efforts. However, no advanced performance or caching technologies were explicitly detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup.
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.
