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

AST is a Latvian energy sector company specializing in the management and development of the electricity transmission network. The website provides comprehensive information about the company's structure, strategic projects including synchronization with European networks, market operations, and investor relations. The content is professionally presented in Latvian, targeting energy stakeholders and the general public. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 11, leveraging modern web technologies including SVG graphics and Google Analytics for visitor insights. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a clear navigation structure and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS is implied, explicit security headers are not detected in the provided data. The site employs anonymized IP tracking and cookie consent but lacks visible incident response or security policy disclosures. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust verification. Overall, AST's website reflects a credible and professional energy transmission operator with good digital maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security and incident response policies, and ensuring WHOIS data availability for trust verification.

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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

AST operates as a key transmission system operator in Latvia's energy sector, managing critical infrastructure and market functions. The company emphasizes synchronization with European electricity systems, reflecting strategic alignment with EU energy policies. The website's detailed sections on corporate governance, financial reporting, and project management indicate transparency and regulatory compliance. The target audience includes investors, market participants, and public stakeholders. AST's business model centers on regulated infrastructure management and service provision within the energy transmission domain, positioning it as an essential entity in Latvia's energy market ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS usage and cookie consent aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of published incident response contacts or security policies limits the organization's transparency in security readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a government or regulated entity but requiring enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards fully.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Ensure WHOIS data is accessible and consistent with website claims to enhance trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact and vulnerability disclosure procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and supported CMS platform, indicating good technical infrastructure. Use of SVG for graphics and Google Fonts shows attention to design and performance. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, reflecting privacy awareness. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with structured navigation and multilingual support (Latvian and English). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in hosting and caching. No hosting provider details were identified. The technical stack is appropriate for a large energy sector organization, with opportunities to strengthen security configurations and monitoring.
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.
