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

9 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

    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

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

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

BUTS holds a strong market position in Latvia's education sector, focusing on professional and non-formal adult education. Its business model leverages EU funding to subsidize training programs, enhancing accessibility. The company maintains a broad portfolio of over 300 educational programs and operates 23 branches nationwide, indicating a large operational scale. The website's integration with social media and marketing tools suggests active engagement with its target audience. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies indicates an independent operation. The business demonstrates strong trust signals through licensing, accreditation, and transparent contact information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a comprehensive consent management platform, reflecting good GDPR compliance. Security best practices include CSRF tokens and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and expanding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including continuous monitoring, staff training, and compliance audits to maintain and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Odoo CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and InMobi's consent manager. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with valid meta tags and SEO-friendly structure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and rich media content. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence suitable for a large educational institution. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and further enhance accessibility 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.
