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

      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

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 website positions Ādaži municipality as a transparent and service-oriented local government, offering detailed information on governance structures, public services, and community engagement. It supports digital transformation through e-services and newsletter subscriptions, targeting local residents and stakeholders. The presence of social media links and partnerships with official government portals like latvija.gov.lv and europa.eu enhances its credibility and outreach. The business model focuses on public administration and citizen communication, with no commercial activities detected. The site’s content and structure indicate a medium-sized government entity with a stable digital infrastructure.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and limited tracking via Google Analytics configured to disable ad personalization signals. No security.txt or explicit incident response contacts were found, suggesting room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML but may be configured at the server level. Forms include standard protections but require regular audits to ensure CSRF and input validation. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene appropriate for a government website, with recommendations to enhance header policies and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance incident response contact information visibility, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and form input validations to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, ensuring a modern and responsive design. Google Fonts and Bot Framework Webchat are integrated for enhanced user experience and accessibility. Performance is moderate with preloaded fonts and lazy loading of images. Accessibility features include font size and contrast adjustments, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta viewport tags. The technical stack is well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and enhance security headers for improved protection.
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.
