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

The website cukmens.lvm.lv represents AS Latvijas valsts meži, a Latvian state-owned forestry company focused on forest management and environmental education. The site serves as an educational platform targeting children and the general public to promote forest conservation and awareness. It is well-branded with official logos and links to the parent organization, reflecting a strong market position within the government and non-profit sectors in Latvia. The content is primarily in Latvian and includes news, educational materials, and contact information. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel. It uses Matomo analytics configured to require user consent, demonstrating privacy awareness. The site is mobile-optimized and has a moderate performance profile. However, some improvements in accessibility and SEO could be made. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses CSRF tokens, and has a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security policies. Overall, the security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is good, with a clear privacy policy linked to the parent organization’s site and a functional cookie consent banner. Contact information is transparent and professional. There are no signs of malicious or suspicious activity. The domain registration aligns well with the business entity, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness. The overall risk is low, but recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing detailed security and incident response policies, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further 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.

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

AS Latvijas valsts meži operates as a government entity managing state forests in Latvia. The cukmens.lvm.lv site supports their environmental education initiatives, targeting children and the wider community to foster forest conservation awareness. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and education. The website acts as a communication channel for news, educational content, and engagement programs like 'Cūkmena detektīvi'. Partnerships with government ministries and environmental organizations are evident through linked domains. The site’s content and structure indicate a mature digital presence aligned with public sector standards. Growth indicators include active engagement with thousands of children and ongoing educational campaigns. The partnership ecosystem includes Latvian ministries and NGOs, enhancing credibility and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a government-affiliated site. HTTPS is enforced, and CSRF tokens are implemented, reducing common web attack risks. The cookie consent mechanism and Matomo analytics with consent requirement show GDPR compliance awareness. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by adopting additional security best practices and publishing comprehensive security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1 and Slick Carousel for UI components. Matomo analytics is used for visitor tracking with a consent mechanism, reflecting privacy-conscious design. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. SEO is basic with meta viewport and charset tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. No forms are present on the homepage, reducing attack surface. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the site’s educational and informational purpose.
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.
