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

Iecavas vidusskola is a secondary educational institution located in Iecava, Latvia, serving students, parents, and the local community. The website provides comprehensive information about school activities, schedules, administration, and contact details, positioning the school as a key regional educational provider. The site is built on WordPress and integrates modern web technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA for security and cookie consent for privacy compliance. While the site is well-structured and content-rich, it lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing some recommended security headers. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and suitable 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

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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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
  • 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 in the education sector, targeting students and their families in the Iecava region. Its business model is centered on providing secondary education and extracurricular activities. The website supports this by offering schedules, news, and contact information. The presence of social media links and downloadable resources indicates engagement with the community. The lack of detailed WHOIS data and privacy policy pages suggests areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. The school appears to maintain a consistent brand and good content quality, supporting its credibility in the local market.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, which are positive security measures. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. The cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations but lacks a detailed privacy policy. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits the ability to report security issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add terms of service and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with plugins such as BetterDocs and NextGen Gallery, using jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for spam protection. The site loads CSS and JS assets via minified cache files, indicating some performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO basics like meta tags and RSS feeds are present. However, no advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to improve accessibility and security headers. The technical stack is standard for a regional educational website, balancing functionality and ease of maintenance.
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.
