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

Villa Ventus is a small hospitality business offering modern studio apartments for rent in the center of Liepaja, Latvia. The website provides comprehensive information about the villa, its facilities, house rules, and local attractions, targeting tourists and visitors seeking accommodation. The business appears to be well-positioned locally with a clear focus on quality and guest convenience, including pet-friendly options and flexible check-in/out. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with popular plugins such as WooCommerce, WPBakery Page Builder, and Contact Form 7. It uses HTTPS and has a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a reputable registrar and hosting company. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site has a good baseline with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces its security posture slightly. No explicit security policies or incident response information are provided, which is common for small hospitality businesses but could be enhanced to build trust. Overall, Villa Ventus presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with good content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security configurations and adding terms of service or security policies could further enhance credibility and protection.

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.

  1. 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: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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

Villa Ventus operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on studio apartment rentals in Liepaja, Latvia. The business model is direct rental with an emphasis on modern amenities and guest convenience. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a local market focus. The company leverages social media channels for marketing and engagement but does not show evidence of large-scale partnerships or subsidiaries. Revenue streams likely come from direct bookings. The presence of GDPR-compliant cookie and privacy policies indicates awareness of regulatory requirements. The business appears stable with consistent branding and a clear value proposition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent gaps that could be exploited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Overall, the site is reasonably secure for its business type but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce and WPBakery Page Builder plugins, indicating a standard and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend enhancements and styling. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a reputable European hosting company. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed issues detected, and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small hospitality business but could be enhanced with modern security practices and performance optimizations.
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.
