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

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 as a transparent and accessible local government entity, offering a wide range of public services and community information. Its business model focuses on public administration and citizen engagement through digital channels. The site supports e-services, public consultations, and news dissemination, indicating a mature digital presence. Partnerships with government portals and local organizations are evident through linked domains. The content and navigation structure support diverse user groups including residents, businesses, and youth. The site reflects a medium-sized municipal government with consistent branding and a focus on service delivery and community involvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Cookie consent is implemented with clear user choices, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present in the HTML source and should be verified server-side. No incident response or security policy pages are found, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts is controlled, but continuous monitoring is recommended. Overall, the security posture is good for a government website but can be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent spam and abuse.
  5. Continue improving accessibility and mobile responsiveness to ensure inclusive user experience.

It employs Google Fonts and Google Analytics with privacy settings to track user behavior responsibly. The site includes a webchat bot for user assistance and an audio player for accessibility. Images are lazy-loaded to improve performance. The HTML structure is valid and semantic, supporting SEO and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility tools such as font size adjustment and contrast modes. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, suitable for a government digital presence.
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.
