Risk levelHigh

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

The website represents the official online presence of the Cēsu novada pašvaldība (Cēsis Municipality), specifically focusing on the Cēsu pilsētas pansionāts, a social care institution providing long-term social care and rehabilitation services. The site is primarily targeted at local residents and stakeholders seeking information about social services and municipal offerings. The technical infrastructure relies on legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.4 and Slick Carousel, with integration of Google Translate for multilingual support. The site is served over HTTPS with standard security headers, and includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, indicating a mature approach to privacy and user consent. However, the WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration insights. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture with no evident vulnerabilities or malicious content, but could benefit from modernizing its technology stack and enhancing security headers.

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

    • 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

      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

      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

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

Cēsu novada pašvaldība operates as a government entity providing essential social services to the local population. Its business model is public sector focused, delivering social care and rehabilitation through the Cēsu pilsētas pansionāts. The website serves as an information portal with links to various municipal services, documents, and contact points. The presence of multiple subdomains and partner sites indicates a broad municipal digital ecosystem. The target audience includes residents, social workers, and families requiring social care services. The site’s market position is that of a trusted local government resource, with no commercial revenue streams or advertising. Growth indicators are tied to municipal development and service expansion rather than commercial metrics.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes several key security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, reflecting adherence to basic web security best practices. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy demonstrate compliance with GDPR requirements. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, indicating an area for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. The use of older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.4 may pose potential security risks if not regularly updated. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with modern security headers and updated dependencies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery 1.11.4 and Slick Carousel for UI components, alongside Google Translate integration for multilingual support. The site is served over HTTPS with standard security headers but lacks advanced security configurations like CSP. The HTML structure is well-organized with clear navigation menus and submenus, though the technology is somewhat dated. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive design elements. SEO is basic, with meta tags present but minimal keyword and description content. The site does not appear to use a common CMS or modern frameworks, suggesting a custom or legacy platform. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the 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.
