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

École Française Jules Verne is a French international school located in Riga, Latvia, providing education from preschool through high school within the French education system. It is uniquely positioned as the only school in Latvia accredited by AEFE, serving families seeking a French curriculum and intercultural education. The website reflects a professional educational institution with clear branding, multilingual content, and comprehensive information about admissions, education systems, and school life. The target audience primarily includes parents and students interested in French international education in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, utilizing Jetpack for enhanced functionality, Google Fonts for typography, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. However, some security best practices such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. The absence of security headers and cookie consent reduces compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust analysis. No signs of malware or phishing were detected, and the content is safe and appropriate for general audiences. Overall, the website is a credible and professional digital presence for an educational institution, with moderate technical maturity and a good security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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 school holds a unique market position as the sole French international school in Latvia accredited by AEFE, targeting a niche segment of expatriate and local families seeking French education. Its business model is educational service provision, focusing on quality intercultural education from early childhood to secondary levels. The partnership ecosystem includes AEFE and Institut Français, enhancing credibility and cultural ties. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized institution with a focused service offering. Growth indicators include multilingual content and active social media presence. Revenue streams likely derive from tuition fees and related educational services. The school maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels and partner endorsements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a baseline security maturity with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML source. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit privacy compliance features may expose the institution to regulatory risks under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. The use of up-to-date WordPress and Jetpack plugins is positive but requires ongoing maintenance to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-maintained theme and plugins such as Jetpack. It uses Google Fonts and Google Analytics for enhanced user experience and analytics. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile responsive. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from improved security headers and privacy compliance features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical stack supports the business needs effectively with moderate technical debt.
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.
