DOM Gallery is an independent artist-run space based in Riga, Latvia, focusing on showcasing emerging and outsider artists from the local and international contemporary art scene. The gallery opened in June 2021 and emphasizes interdisciplinary and under-recognized artistic practices. The website is bilingual, supporting both English and Latvian languages, and is hosted on the Cargo platform. The site presents exhibition information, artist profiles, and event details, targeting art enthusiasts and the contemporary art community. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, with a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 gallery operates as a small independent entity within the niche art sector, focusing on local emerging artists while collaborating internationally. Its business model revolves around exhibitions and artist networking rather than commercial sales, as no e-commerce functionality is detected. The website content is professionally presented with consistent branding and clear navigation. The absence of contact emails or phone numbers may limit direct customer engagement. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content or WHOIS data. The domain registration is recent but aligns with the gallery's stated opening date, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor risk in DNS spoofing. No forms or input fields are present, reducing attack surface. The domain status clientTransferProhibited protects against unauthorized domain transfers. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a gap for handling security incidents. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including email and phone numbers for better user engagement and incident response.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor website usage and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Cargo platform, utilizing HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery 3.6.0. It uses custom fonts hosted on Cargo's CDN and external Google-hosted jQuery library. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern CSS features. Performance is moderate, with large image files noted (e.g., 10MB+ PNG images) which could be optimized for faster loading. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data (JSON-LD) detected. Accessibility features are minimal. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced SEO and accessibility.
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.
