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

Rīgas 49. vidusskola is a well-established Latvian secondary school with over a century of history, providing comprehensive educational services from primary to secondary levels, including IT education and extracurricular projects. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and the local community, featuring news, events, and contact information. The institution appears to be a medium-sized educational entity focused on serving its local demographic with a stable market position. Technically, the website employs a modern but straightforward technology stack including Bootstrap 4.5.3, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It is mobile responsive and includes cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR requirements. However, there is no evidence of advanced CMS usage or hosting provider details. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by external HTTPS resources) and implements a cookie consent banner, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and branding strongly indicate a legitimate educational institution. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with basic privacy regulations. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and enhanced accessibility would further strengthen its posture.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

The school holds a strong local presence in Latvia's education sector, targeting students and their families. Its long history and consistent branding provide competitive advantages in trust and recognition. The business model is typical for public or community-funded educational institutions, focusing on delivering quality education and community engagement. The website supports this with detailed program information, admission procedures, and support options. Social media integration enhances community interaction. Growth indicators include active event announcements and project showcases. The partnership ecosystem is limited to social media platforms and cookie consent providers, with no evident commercial partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Data protection officer contact and certifications are not disclosed. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly, but further security hardening is recommended to meet higher compliance standards such as NIS2 or ISO 27001.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience.
  5. Maintain and publish data protection officer contact details and GDPR compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and widely supported technology stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. External resources are loaded from reputable CDNs, improving load times and reliability. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure. SEO is basic but functional, with meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. Hosting provider and SSL certificate details are not disclosed, limiting full infrastructure assessment.
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.
