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

The website depozitapunkts.lv serves as the official Latvian deposit return system platform for beverage packaging, providing comprehensive information on how to return deposit containers such as cans, PET bottles, and glass bottles. It targets consumers, retailers, and businesses involved in packaging and beverage sales within Latvia. The site offers detailed instructions, FAQs, donation options, and location services for deposit points, positioning itself as a government-backed environmental initiative to promote recycling and sustainability. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, Facebook Pixel, and Google Analytics for tracking and user interaction analysis. While Bootstrap is referenced, it appears commented out in the source. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes reCAPTCHA for form protection, but lacks visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are explicitly found, which impacts privacy compliance scoring. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional in content and presentation but would benefit from enhanced security headers, explicit privacy and cookie policies, and improved transparency on data protection and incident response. The lack of WHOIS data is a limitation but the site’s content and domain name strongly indicate an official government-related service.

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.

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

Depozitapunkts.lv operates as a government-supported deposit return scheme in Latvia, focusing on environmental sustainability by facilitating the return and recycling of beverage packaging. Its market position is that of an official national system, serving a broad audience including consumers, retailers, and businesses in the beverage supply chain. The business model revolves around regulatory compliance and public environmental responsibility rather than direct commercial revenue. The platform supports user engagement through educational content, location services, and donation mechanisms. Partnerships with local recycling initiatives and charitable organizations are evident. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with national legislation. The ecosystem includes related domains such as skiroviegli.lv and ziedot.lv, which support waste sorting and charitable donations respectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and reCAPTCHA protects forms against automated abuse. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies is found, which may hinder timely handling of security issues. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. To improve, the organization should implement comprehensive security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and establish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels. These steps will enhance trust and compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a robust Content Security Policy (CSP) to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  2. Add essential security headers including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen transport security and clickjacking protection.
  3. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize security risks and ensure data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including jQuery and Bootstrap (though Bootstrap CSS/JS is commented out). It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses modern HTML5 features. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and carousel sliders for content presentation. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization in script loading and CSS usage. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the source. The lack of active security headers and commented out CSS frameworks suggest some technical debt or incomplete implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
