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

8 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

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 company operates in the education sector, focusing on creative arts and design courses in Riga. It leverages experienced instructors and a diverse course catalog to maintain a strong local market position. The business model combines educational services with retail of art supplies and original artworks. The website's content and social media presence support customer engagement and brand trust. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with a focused niche. The lack of WHOIS data limits deeper verification of company registration and domain age, but the business information on the site is consistent and credible.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting awareness of privacy and security best practices. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of a security policy, incident response page, or security.txt file indicates limited formal security governance transparency. The site does not display any signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced security headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for marketing and analytics tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb markup. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses a cookie consent plugin to manage user privacy preferences. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business goals effectively.
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.
