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

International School of Riga is a private international educational institution based in Latvia, offering the International Baccalaureate curriculum across Early Years, Primary, Middle, and High School levels. The school positions itself as the only international school in Riga with IB accreditation candidacy, serving a diverse student body with over 47 nationalities represented. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with multiple plugins for SEO, analytics, and multilingual support. Social media integration and community engagement are strong, supporting the school's outreach and communication efforts. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and secure forms, though explicit security policies and incident response information are lacking. Privacy compliance is indicated by cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive child protection policy, but explicit GDPR statements and data protection officer contacts are not found. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure suitable for an educational institution, with recommendations to enhance transparency around security and privacy policies.

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

5 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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

Business profile

The International School of Riga operates in the education sector, targeting international families and students seeking IB curriculum education in Latvia. Its market position as the sole international IB candidate school in Riga provides a competitive advantage. The business model focuses on tuition-based private education with additional services such as after-school activities and transportation. The school maintains a medium-sized operation with approximately 314 students and a favorable teacher-student ratio of 1:6. Partnerships with international accreditation bodies and participation in programs like KiVa highlight commitment to quality and student welfare. The digital presence supports multilingual audiences (English, Latvian, Russian) and integrates social media channels for community engagement and marketing. Growth indicators include active news updates and social media activity. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve direct contact information visibility and formalize security and privacy disclosures.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Use of reCAPTCHA on forms and absence of exposed sensitive data further strengthen security. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in security transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with cookie consent but could be improved with clearer GDPR statements and data protection officer contact details. Overall, the security maturity is good but would benefit from enhanced policy documentation and incident communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.5.5 with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and multilingual support via WPML. The site uses a responsive design with good mobile optimization and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate, with some heavy media content but optimized images and lazy loading techniques. The presence of multiple social media integrations and a social stream plugin indicates a focus on community engagement. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and streamline third-party dependencies. Hosting provider details were not identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional educational website.
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.
