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

Bauskas muzejs is a cultural institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing archaeological, ethnographic, historical, and artistic artifacts related to the Bauska region in Latvia. The website serves as an informational portal for visitors and stakeholders, providing access to museum exhibitions and contact details. The organization appears to be a small regional museum with a focus on cultural heritage preservation. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. It incorporates accessibility features via EqualWeb and implements privacy consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. The site uses HTTPS and Google Analytics for visitor tracking, but lacks some advanced security headers which could enhance its security posture. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates moderate maturity with encrypted connections and privacy controls but could improve by adding HTTP security headers and enhancing form security. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, though the website content aligns with a legitimate cultural institution. Overall, the website is functional, accessible, and provides essential information for its audience. Strategic improvements in security headers and domain verification would strengthen trust and compliance.

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

10 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

  2. 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  4. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Bauskas muzejs operates as a small cultural museum serving the Bauska region in Latvia. Its market position is local/regional, focusing on cultural heritage and education. The business model centers on museum exhibitions and visitor engagement. The website supports multiple languages, indicating an intent to reach both local and international visitors. Social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, Xing, and Instagram suggests active community engagement. The museum likely relies on public funding or local government support, with no evident commercial revenue streams. The partnership ecosystem is limited, with no identified subsidiaries or parent companies. The website's technical infrastructure is modern enough to support visitor information needs but lacks advanced e-commerce or interactive features.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting GDPR compliance efforts. Accessibility features are integrated, enhancing usability for disabled users. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a security gap. Login forms are present but lack visible advanced protections like CSRF tokens or multi-factor authentication prompts. No incident response or security policy pages are found, indicating limited transparency on security governance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and EqualWeb introduces potential risk vectors that require monitoring. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enhance login form security by adding CSRF protection and consider multi-factor authentication for user accounts.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Verify domain WHOIS data and ensure registration details align with organizational information to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao CMS, leveraging jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for UI interactions. Accessibility is addressed through integration with EqualWeb. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are used for typography and visitor tracking respectively. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes privacy consent management. Performance appears moderate with multiple CSS and JS files loaded, but no explicit performance optimization techniques like lazy loading or CDN usage are evident. The technical stack is adequate for an informational museum website but could be modernized with newer frameworks or performance enhancements to improve user experience.
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.
