Security score

32/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Gaiķu pamatskola is a small primary educational institution located in Latvia, serving the local community with primary and preschool education. The website provides relevant news, events, and contact information for students, parents, and staff. The site is modest but functional, with a clear focus on school-related content and community engagement. Technically, the website uses standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript without advanced frameworks or CMS detected. The site is mobile-friendly and accessible, though performance is moderate. Security posture is basic; HTTPS status is unknown from the data, and no security headers or privacy policies are present, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website is safe, trustworthy for its audience, but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

9 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates as a local educational entity with a clear target audience of students and parents in the Saldus region of Latvia. Its business model is straightforward, focusing on providing primary education and related community services. The website acts as an information portal rather than a commercial platform, with no evident revenue streams or partnerships beyond a link to viss.lv, a Latvian business information service. The lack of social media presence and analytics suggests a low digital marketing footprint. The institution's market position is local and essential, with trust signals derived from official contact details and consistent branding. Growth indicators or parent company affiliations are not evident.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with no visible HTTPS confirmation or security headers in the provided HTML content. No privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance gap under GDPR for a Latvian entity. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits insight into user behavior. The site does not appear to use advanced security frameworks or protections. Recommendations include implementing HTTPS, security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to improve security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and verify configuration.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update website scripts and external resources to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack consisting of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript without detectable CMS or advanced frameworks. The site loads moderate performance content including images and event cards. Mobile optimization and accessibility features such as font size and contrast adjustments are implemented, enhancing user experience. SEO is supported by meta description and structured navigation. Hosting provider and backend infrastructure details are not discernible from the HTML content. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or analytics tools. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist, especially in security and privacy implementations.
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.
