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

ub.lt is a Lithuanian online media portal focused on delivering news, lifestyle content, recipes, health, and event information to a Lithuanian-speaking audience. The website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable technical infrastructure. The site integrates advertising networks and tracking tools to support its business model, which appears to be advertising-driven. Social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest supports audience engagement and brand visibility. Technically, the website demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and consent management implemented, though some security headers are not explicitly detected. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of visible contact emails or phone numbers and lack of security policy or incident response information slightly reduce trust. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, which limits the ability to verify domain registration legitimacy. Despite this, the website content and technical indicators suggest a legitimate and professional media portal. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, improving accessibility, and providing clearer contact and security information to strengthen trust and 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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. 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';…

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

ub.lt operates as a regional Lithuanian media portal targeting general consumers interested in news, lifestyle, and practical advice. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, supported by Google Ad Manager and Marfeel SDK. The site leverages social media channels for audience growth and engagement. The partnership with laikas.lt suggests content collaboration or shared resources. The portal's content breadth and consistent branding position it as a trusted source within its niche. Growth opportunities include expanding direct contact channels and enhancing compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Regular updates and security audits, especially for third-party scripts, are recommended to maintain security maturity and compliance with GDPR and related regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks.

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a well-supported and SEO-optimized platform. It integrates Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Google Publisher Tags, and Marfeel SDK for advertising and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. No major technical debt or legacy technology detected, but security header implementation and accessibility enhancements are advised.
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.
