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

The website 3td.lv operates as a digital e-book library service primarily targeting registered users of Latvian municipal public libraries. It offers free online access to a broad catalog of e-books, facilitating reading on various devices including phones, tablets, and computers. The service is a collaboration between the Cultural Information Systems Centre and SIA Tietoevry Latvia, positioning itself as a national-level platform for public library users in Latvia. The business model focuses on providing public access to digital literature with usage restrictions to ensure fair use and compliance with copyright laws. Technically, the website is built on a modern web stack likely involving Ruby on Rails, with client-side enhancements using jQuery and integration of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with a responsive design and includes standard security measures such as HTTPS and CSRF tokens. However, some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies are missing, which could be improved to enhance compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with encrypted connections and secure form handling. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact points suggests room for improvement in incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with no explicit cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy policy detected. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professionally maintained service with a clear focus on public education and library services. Strategic enhancements in privacy transparency, security headers, and incident response documentation would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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

6 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

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

3td.lv serves a niche market of Latvian municipal library users, providing free access to e-books through a government-supported platform. Its partnership with Tietoevry Latvia, a reputable IT company, and the Cultural Information Systems Centre lends credibility and operational support. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its integration with existing library systems and its focus on accessibility across devices. Revenue streams are likely indirect, supported by public funding rather than direct sales. The target customers are library patrons requiring digital reading options. Growth potential exists in expanding library partnerships and enhancing digital offerings. The ecosystem includes public institutions and private IT service providers, reflecting a hybrid public-private collaboration model.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security or incident response policy indicate moderate maturity. Privacy compliance is partial, with missing cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy documentation. The use of third-party analytics introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with transparent privacy practices. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the service type but could benefit from enhancements in policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Ruby on Rails framework with client-side JavaScript enhancements. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking user interactions. The site is mobile responsive and includes standard meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility is basic but functional. There is no detected CMS branding, suggesting a custom or in-house developed platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML content. The technical implementation is modern but could be improved with enhanced accessibility features and security headers.
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.
