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

Gulbenes novada vidusskola is a regional educational institution located in Latvia's Vidzeme region, formed by merging two local schools. The website serves as an information hub for students, parents, and educators, providing news, admission details, and information about international projects such as Erasmus+. The site demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity, built on WordPress with common plugins for SEO, social sharing, and content management. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for tracking and social media engagement. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust verification. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy for its educational purpose.

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

8 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

  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"

    • 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

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 school operates as a public educational entity targeting local students and their families. Its business model focuses on providing secondary education and participating in international educational projects, enhancing its reputation and educational quality. The website supports communication and engagement with its community through social media and news updates. The presence of multiple educational programs and support services indicates a comprehensive approach to student development. The lack of WHOIS data and limited contact information online slightly reduce transparency but do not detract significantly from its credibility given the nature of the institution.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, which are recommended for enhanced security posture and compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an educational website but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to facilitate security communication.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for domain to enhance DNS security and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a modern plugin ecosystem including Yoast SEO, Max Mega Menu, and Post Grid. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for analytics and social media. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The lack of advanced security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Overall, the infrastructure is standard for a regional educational website, with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
