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

TravelUSAESTA.com is a specialized online service facilitating applications for U.S. ESTA travel authorizations under the Visa Waiver Program. The company, SIA Consulting& Support based in Latvia, offers a streamlined application process with customer support and refund guarantees, targeting international travelers eligible for visa waiver entry to the United States. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its niche audience. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. However, it lacks some advanced security measures such as DNSSEC and security headers, and does not implement a cookie consent mechanism despite using tracking scripts. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business information presented, supporting the legitimacy of the domain and service. Overall, the site presents a moderate security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and technical security hardening.

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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 business operates in the travel authorization service sector, providing convenience and additional customer service compared to the official government ESTA site. Its revenue model is based on charging processing fees on top of the government ESTA fee. The company is small-sized, founded in 2017, and registered in Latvia. The target customers are international travelers from Visa Waiver Program countries seeking quick and supported ESTA application processing. The company demonstrates moderate branding consistency and trust indicators such as refund guarantees and clear contact details. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly identified. The business appears to be a niche player with a focused service offering and a straightforward online presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers, which reduces its defense against certain attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of Google Analytics without a cookie consent banner indicates partial privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and adding privacy and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern frontend stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS servers. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for styling and analytics respectively. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags. However, no CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking issues. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt and potential risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for the business purpose but would benefit from security and privacy 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.
