78/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website dnsmuris.lv is operated by CERT.LV in cooperation with NIC.LV to provide a free DNS firewall service aimed at protecting Latvian internet users from cyber threats such as phishing and malware. The service is positioned as a national cybersecurity initiative with a focus on individual and organizational users in Latvia. The website content is primarily in Latvian and provides detailed instructions on configuring DNS settings to use the firewall service. Technically, the site uses jQuery and Semantic UI frameworks but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. Security posture is weakened by the absence of DNSSEC and CAA records, although email security policies like SPF and DMARC are properly configured. Privacy compliance is supported by clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but requires critical improvements in SSL/TLS deployment and DNS security to enhance user trust and security.

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

CERT.LV, a government cybersecurity entity, collaborates with NIC.LV to deliver a free DNS firewall service targeting Latvian internet users. The service leverages RPZ technology to dynamically block access to malicious domains. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public cybersecurity enhancement. The website serves as an informational and instructional portal without direct commercial transactions or contact forms. Partnerships with national entities like NIC.LV strengthen its credibility. The service addresses a critical need in the Latvian market for protection against cybercrime campaigns. Growth potential lies in expanding user adoption and enhancing technical robustness. The absence of direct contact information suggests a focus on automated or indirect user support channels.

Security posture

The security posture of dnsmuris.lv is moderate but with critical gaps. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support exposes users to potential interception risks. DNS security is partially addressed with strict SPF and DMARC policies but lacks DNSSEC and CAA records, which are important for DNS integrity and certificate issuance control. The site employs HSTS with includeSubDomains, which is positive but ineffective without HTTPS. No vulnerable libraries were detected, and no forms are present to risk injection attacks. Incident response information is available via CERT.LV links, but no dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page is found. Overall, the site demonstrates awareness of security best practices but requires urgent improvements in transport security and DNS hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user connections.
  2. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to strengthen DNS security and certificate issuance control.
  3. Optimize website performance by reducing page size and improving load times.
  4. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using jQuery 3.7.1 and Semantic UI for frontend UI components. It loads a large number of resources (64) resulting in a large page size (~2.4MB) and slow load time (~10 seconds). The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the data. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical deficiency. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, indicating some digital maturity. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated in security and performance aspects, requiring modernization to meet current web standards.
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.
