Risk levelMedium

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

Gaismas pamatskola is a specialized educational institution in Latvia focused on providing basic and professional education programs for students with intellectual disabilities. The website reflects a small-sized educational entity with a clear mission to support this niche audience through various educational and support programs. The site is built on WordPress and uses common plugins for social sharing and cookie consent, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure is standard for educational websites, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data limits full verification of domain legitimacy, but the website content and structure suggest a trustworthy and professional organization. Overall, the site is safe, well-structured, and compliant with basic privacy regulations, though improvements in security practices and contact transparency are recommended.

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

7 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

  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

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 institution operates in the education sector, specifically targeting students with intellectual disabilities, positioning itself as a niche provider within Latvia. Its business model revolves around delivering specialized education programs and support services, including pedagogical support and interest-based education. The website content and navigation indicate a well-organized institution with a focus on community engagement and transparency through news updates and event chronicles. The lack of explicit contact information and WHOIS data suggests potential areas for improvement in business transparency. The use of social media widgets and cookie consent mechanisms reflects awareness of modern digital engagement and compliance requirements. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. The institution appears to be a small entity with a localized market presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No security policy or incident response information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found, indicating limited transparency in security management. The site uses several third-party scripts including social media SDKs and Google Maps API, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by including official company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to minimize security risks and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.2, utilizing common plugins for social sharing, cookie consent, and lightbox functionality. It employs jQuery and integrates external services such as Facebook SDK, Twitter widgets, and Google Maps API. The site uses responsive CSS stylesheets targeting various screen sizes, indicating good mobile optimization. Performance appears moderate with standard image sizes and slider functionality. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA roles and skip navigation links present. SEO is supported by meta tags including description and keywords, as well as canonical links. No advanced frameworks beyond WordPress and jQuery are detected. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is standard for a small educational website with room for modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
