Security report for gaso.lv

GASO · Energy · Latvia

Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

GASO is the sole natural gas distribution system operator in Latvia, providing essential services to deliver natural gas from transmission systems to end consumers. The website presents a professional and comprehensive digital presence, offering detailed service information, electronic application portals, and customer account management. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Cookiebot for consent management, alongside Google Analytics for user behavior insights. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers and explicit incident response contacts are absent. The lack of WHOIS data limits full domain trust assessment, but the website's content and structure indicate a legitimate and established business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

GASO holds a monopolistic position in Latvia's natural gas distribution sector, targeting residential and commercial gas consumers. Its business model centers on regulated utility services, including new connections, maintenance, and market data exchange. The company supports digital transformation through online applications and customer portals, indicating a focus on customer convenience and operational efficiency. The website's navigation and content reflect a mature organization with clear service segmentation and regulatory compliance. Partnerships appear limited to internal service domains, emphasizing a focused operational scope. Growth indicators are not explicit but the comprehensive service offering and digital tools suggest ongoing modernization efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for improvement. No direct contact information for security incidents or vulnerability reporting is published, which could hinder incident response effectiveness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Cookiebot is managed with consent, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these libraries is recommended. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a utility provider but can be enhanced by adopting best practices in HTTP headers and incident transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Cookiebot integration ensures compliance with privacy regulations through granular cookie consent management. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are employed for analytics and marketing purposes. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
