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

VSIA Autotransporta direkcija is a Latvian state-owned enterprise responsible for regulating and administrating commercial and public transportation services within Latvia. The organization provides licensing for freight and passenger transport, issues digital tachograph cards, manages public transport schedules, and offers various e-services including online booking. The website serves as an official portal for transport operators and the general public, providing comprehensive information and access to services. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and consistent with government standards, targeting transport companies and passengers in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and other JavaScript libraries. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a moderate performance profile. The site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a good level of privacy compliance. However, some security best practices such as security headers are not visibly implemented, and the jQuery version is outdated, which could pose security risks. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS and privacy policies in place, but lacks explicit incident response information and security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the official nature of the site and consistent contact information support its trustworthiness. Overall, the website is a reliable and professional government resource with good content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers and updating libraries would enhance its security posture. The domain WHOIS data should be monitored to ensure transparency and trust. The site poses low risk and serves its audience effectively.

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.

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

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 organization operates as a government agency in the transportation sector of Latvia, holding a key regulatory and administrative role. Its market position is authoritative within the national context, providing essential services such as licensing, certification, and public transport information. The business model is service-oriented, funded and governed by the state, targeting transport operators and the general public. The website supports digital transformation with e-services and online booking, indicating moderate digital maturity. Partnerships with external service providers are evident through linked domains. The presence of quality management certification and comprehensive privacy policies reflect a commitment to compliance and service quality. Growth indicators include active news updates and campaigns promoting public transport. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear branding and trust signals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.10.2) could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly mitigated. No sensitive data leakage or visible vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The site complies with GDPR through privacy policies and cookie consent but could improve transparency by publishing security policies and incident contacts. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize risk.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration details are accessible and consistent with organizational information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing jQuery 1.10.2, Bootstrap, and several Drupal modules for functionality such as slideshows, colorbox, and geolocation mapping. The front-end is responsive and mobile-friendly, with accessibility features like text resizing and contrast adjustments. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded, some from external sources. The site uses Google Analytics and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. No major technical debt is evident, but the Drupal version and jQuery are outdated, which may pose security and maintenance challenges. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
