54/100

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

Baldones Mākslas skola is a small Latvian art school providing visual arts education including drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital graphics. The school actively participates in Erasmus+ international exchange programs, enhancing its educational offerings and cultural collaborations. The website reflects a localized educational institution with a focus on art students and young artists. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries and standard web technologies such as jQuery, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. While the site is functional and content-rich, it lacks modern security headers and privacy compliance features such as cookie consent and privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration verification, but the site content and contact details support legitimacy. Security posture is moderate with recommendations to update libraries and implement security best practices. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and serves its educational purpose effectively.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

NIS2 outside view
Not assessed
GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

The school operates in the education sector, targeting students interested in visual arts. Its business model is centered on providing professional art education and cultural activities, supported by international Erasmus+ partnerships that enhance its reputation and offerings. The website content and news updates indicate active engagement with students and the community. The institution is small in size and locally focused but leverages international collaborations. The presence of official contact information and participation in recognized programs like Erasmus+ are positive trust signals. The website's technical infrastructure is basic but sufficient for its needs, though modernization could improve performance and security.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used as indicated by the og:url meta tag, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.4.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The site does not appear to have a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small educational site but requires improvements to address library vulnerabilities, implement security headers, and enhance privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with a user consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and security readiness.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance user experience and broaden accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy jQuery 1.4.2 and plugins like Colorbox and FlexSlider for UI components. Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The HTML structure is standard but uses windows-1257 charset, which is less common than UTF-8 and may affect internationalization. The site lacks modern CMS indicators and appears custom-built or lightly templated. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. Mobile optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. The site would benefit from modernization of its tech stack and improved frontend performance and accessibility.
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.
