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

Arheostudija.lv is a niche Latvian blog dedicated to experimental archaeology, history, and nature. It serves as a community and educational platform primarily for enthusiasts and professionals interested in archaeological experiments, ancient crafts, and cultural heritage in Latvia. The website is hosted on WordPress.com, leveraging Jetpack and Gutenberg technologies, providing a modern and responsive user experience. Content is regularly updated with event announcements, articles, and project reports, reflecting an active community engagement. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, and no direct contact information is provided, which may impact trust and compliance perceptions. Security posture is solid due to WordPress.com hosting and HTTPS enforcement, but could be improved with additional security headers and explicit policies. Overall, the site is a credible and well-maintained resource for its target audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy and contact transparency.

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

    • 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

  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

      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 website operates as a small-scale, community-driven educational blog focused on experimental archaeology and related cultural activities in Latvia. Its business model appears non-commercial, emphasizing knowledge sharing and event promotion. The target audience includes archaeology enthusiasts, historians, educators, and cultural heritage supporters. The site leverages WordPress.com infrastructure, which reduces operational overhead and enhances security. There is no evidence of commercial transactions or monetization. The consistent content updates and event participation indicate active community involvement and potential for growth within its niche. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. The lack of formal business contact details and policies suggests an informal organizational structure.

Security posture

The website benefits from WordPress.com's managed hosting environment, which provides HTTPS by default and platform-level security controls. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, indicating room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. There is no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts identified. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is moderate, relying heavily on the hosting provider's protections but lacking explicit site-level security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add contact information for general inquiries and security incidents to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS hosted on WordPress.com, utilizing Jetpack and Gutenberg block editor technologies. It employs modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive features like carousels. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources from WordPress.com CDN domains, ensuring good performance and caching. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. No broken links or errors were detected in the content. The site could improve by adding ARIA roles and enhanced accessibility attributes. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and well-maintained, suitable for a content-focused community blog.
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.
