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

Bauskas Valsts ģimnāzija is a Latvian state gymnasium providing quality secondary education focused on personal growth and continuous development. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and the educational community, offering news, schedules, and resources. The institution emphasizes core values such as wisdom, responsibility, and honesty, positioning itself as a reputable local educational entity. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 4.8.12 with common plugins for galleries, calendars, and cookie notices. While HTTPS is enabled and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, the site uses an outdated WordPress version and lacks modern security headers, which could expose it to vulnerabilities. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its educational purpose but would benefit from technical and security updates.

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

7 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

  2. Security headers

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 school operates as a public educational institution in Latvia, targeting students and their families within the region. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on education and community engagement. The website supports this by providing relevant academic and extracurricular information. The institution maintains a consistent brand image and clear contact details, enhancing credibility. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of advanced marketing or analytics tools suggests a focus on informational content rather than commercial growth. The school’s market position is stable within its local educational sector, with a clear mission and values communicated to its audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS and cookie consent banners. However, the use of an outdated WordPress version (4.8.12) and plugins introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security governance. No forms collecting sensitive data were detected, reducing immediate risk exposure. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires updates and enhancements to align with best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and address risks.
  4. Develop and publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older WordPress version (4.8.12) with standard plugins for photo galleries, event calendars, and cookie notices. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and WordPress.org. Performance is moderate with no evident optimization for speed beyond basic responsive design. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and skip links but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feeds but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, requiring modernization to improve security, performance, and compliance.
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.
