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

Ventspils Marina is a small regional marina service provider located in Ventspils, Latvia, specializing in yacht mooring and related maritime services. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence built on the Squarespace platform, featuring multimedia content and integrated weather widgets to support marina visitors. Contact information is clearly provided, including phone numbers, email, and physical address, enhancing business credibility. However, the absence of privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies indicates gaps in compliance and user transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy for its business purpose but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and 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.

Priority findings

8 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

    • 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

  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 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

The business operates in the transportation and hospitality sectors, targeting yacht owners and maritime visitors. It offers mooring services with a capacity of 50 berths and supports local events. The business model is service-oriented with a regional market focus. The website's integration of social media and weather services suggests an intent to engage and inform customers effectively. Lack of detailed corporate information and certifications limits deeper business intelligence. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand image and moderate market position within Latvia.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks critical security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also reflects compliance gaps. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. The overall security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to strengthen HTTPS usage.
  2. Add Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options headers to improve security against common attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Develop and publish security and incident response policies, including vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  5. Regularly review and update website security posture and conduct security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, leveraging Google Fonts, Google Maps API, and embedded YouTube videos for rich content delivery. Weather widgets from Windguru, PocketGrib, and YR enhance user experience for marina visitors. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and design quality. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with embedded external resources. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal but present. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and privacy compliance require attention to reduce risks and improve trust.
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.
