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

Dienvidkurzemes novada sporta pārvalde operates as a regional governmental sports authority in Latvia, providing comprehensive information on local sports facilities, events, and sports school activities. The website serves residents and sports enthusiasts in the Dienvidkurzemes region, promoting community engagement through sports. The business model is focused on public service and regional sports development, positioning itself as a trusted local government entity. Technically, the website employs a custom PHP-based CMS with modern frontend technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking and uses responsive design principles to ensure usability across devices. While the site performs moderately well, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers and limited visible security policies suggest opportunities to strengthen the security posture. The contact form includes validation and AJAX submission, but additional protections such as CAPTCHA could enhance resilience against abuse. Overall, the website presents a legitimate and professional front for a regional sports authority with no signs of malicious activity or content safety concerns. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the consistent business information and official contact details support its credibility. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy documentation, and WHOIS transparency would further enhance 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.

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

      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

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 organization is a small-sized government entity focused on sports administration within the Dienvidkurzemes region of Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and localized service offering, including sports event coordination and sports school management. Revenue streams are likely public funding and municipal budgets rather than commercial sales. The target customer segments include local residents, athletes, sports clubs, and schools. The partnership ecosystem includes national sports federations and related government bodies, as evidenced by external links to Latvian sports organizations. The website reflects a stable operational presence with moderate digital maturity and community engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and user data collection via contact forms includes basic validation. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, indicating limited formal security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent and privacy policy presence, but more comprehensive documentation and security controls are advisable. The site shows no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries, but ongoing maintenance and security hardening are recommended to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Develop and publish detailed privacy and security policies to enhance transparency and compliance.
  3. Add CAPTCHA or other anti-abuse mechanisms to contact forms to prevent spam and automated attacks.
  4. Seek to obtain and publish WHOIS data or ensure domain registration transparency to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom PHP-based CMS with a frontend stack comprising jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and several jQuery plugins for UI components such as sliders and modals. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure. However, the lack of modern security headers and limited metadata for SEO suggest areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data.
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.
