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

Latvijas Banka is the official central bank of Latvia, responsible for issuing euro banknotes and coins, managing cash circulation, and providing various financial services to the public and institutions. The website serves as an authoritative source of information on cash circulation, currency exchange, numismatic products, and financial stability. It targets Latvian residents, financial institutions, businesses, and researchers. The bank holds a strong market position as the national issuer of euro currency and a key financial regulator. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and LightSlider, hosted on Microsoft Azure. It features good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. The site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and includes cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners, but explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly visible in the HTML. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response page suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, with comprehensive contact information and social media presence. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration verification, but the domain and content strongly indicate legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel.

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

4 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Latvijas Banka operates as a government central bank with exclusive rights to issue euro currency in Latvia. Its business model focuses on monetary policy implementation, cash management, financial supervision, and public services. The bank's competitive advantage lies in its authoritative role and government backing. Revenue streams are primarily from central banking operations and related services. The target customers include Latvian citizens, financial institutions, and businesses. The website reflects a well-established institution with a large organizational size and a strong partnership ecosystem, including links to numismatic sales platforms and career portals. Growth indicators are stable, aligned with national financial policy objectives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, explicit security headers are not clearly present, and no dedicated security or incident response pages were found. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. The site lacks a published vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formalized incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and validation of form inputs to prevent injection attacks and ensure data integrity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Chosen plugin, and LightSlider for UI components. Hosting on Microsoft Azure provides scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates advanced analytics integration. Technical risks are minimal but include potential outdated libraries and incomplete security header implementation. Modernization opportunities include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving performance metrics.
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.
