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

Cēsu Pilsētas vidusskola is a Latvian secondary educational institution providing a range of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and student support services. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and staff, featuring news, schedules, project details, and contact points. The school maintains an active Facebook presence integrated into the site for community engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, optimized for mobile devices and SEO-friendly with Yoast SEO plugin. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance documentation. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and safe for general audiences.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 local educational provider in Cēsis, Latvia, targeting students and their families. Its business model is focused on public education and community engagement through projects like ERASMUS+ and local initiatives. The website supports this by providing relevant academic and extracurricular information. The presence of partner links such as E-klase and Datnet indicates collaboration with educational service providers. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. The institution appears stable with consistent branding and a moderate online presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses secure external scripts, and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting preparedness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Regular updates and security hardening are recommended to maintain and improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including official emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a WordPress CMS version 4.3.34, which is outdated and may pose security risks if not updated. The front-end leverages Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin, and social media integration is done through Facebook SDK. The site loads external resources over HTTPS, ensuring secure content delivery. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. The site is mobile-friendly and has clear navigation menus. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content.
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.
