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

The website www.esfondi.lv serves as the official Latvian government platform dedicated to providing comprehensive information about European Union funds and the Recovery Fund in Latvia. It offers detailed resources including project selections, news, events, and support for professionals involved in fund management and implementation. The platform targets Latvian citizens, government professionals, and stakeholders interested in EU funding opportunities. The site maintains a strong market position as the authoritative source for EU fund-related information in Latvia. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Alpine.js for interactivity and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with privacy-conscious configurations like IP anonymization. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. Hosting and technical services are provided by reputable Latvian government-affiliated entities, ensuring reliable infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements standard security headers, and provides a detailed privacy policy outlining data protection measures aligned with GDPR requirements. Cookie consent mechanisms are robust, allowing users to control analytics and social media cookies. However, explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies are not present, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the website exhibits a high level of trustworthiness and professionalism consistent with its government affiliation. The domain registration data corroborates the legitimacy of the platform. Strategic recommendations include publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and security posture further.

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

6 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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 platform operates within the government sector, specifically focusing on EU fund management and dissemination of related information. It benefits from strong partnerships with key Latvian government agencies such as the State Chancellery, Cabinet of Ministers, and regional development and technical service providers. The business model centers on providing authoritative, publicly accessible information and support services rather than commercial transactions. The target audience includes government officials, project applicants, and the general Latvian public interested in EU funding. The site’s content and structure indicate a medium-sized operation with a focus on compliance, transparency, and public service. Growth indicators include continuous updates on project selections and events, reflecting active engagement with stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and privacy-conscious analytics implementation. The privacy policy details organizational and technical measures to protect personal data, including encryption, firewall protections, and access controls. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR standards, offering granular user control. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit incident response contacts and a vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for enhancement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR and general best practices for government digital services.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response contact information to facilitate security issue reporting.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance user education on privacy and security through visible notices or FAQs.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and improvement of security controls aligned with evolving threats and compliance requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern, lightweight JavaScript framework (Alpine.js) for client-side interactivity, which supports good performance and maintainability. Integration with Google Analytics and Tag Manager is done with privacy considerations such as IP anonymization and consent-based activation. The site includes accessibility features and responsive design, ensuring usability across devices. Meta tags and Open Graph data are properly configured for SEO and social sharing. Hosting and technical infrastructure are provided by government-affiliated entities, suggesting stable and secure backend support. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. No CMS was explicitly detected, indicating a custom or government-managed platform.
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.
