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

Izglītības ceļvedis is a Latvian educational directory website that provides comprehensive listings and information about various educational institutions across Latvia, including preschools, secondary schools, vocational schools, colleges, and adult education centers. The platform targets students, parents, educators, and adult learners seeking detailed information about educational options in Latvia. It operates as an informational resource, likely monetized through advertising and partnerships with educational institutions. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, along with the Kube CSS framework for styling. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses Google Adsense for advertising. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS, which is a positive indicator. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which could pose regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, the website appears legitimate and trustworthy as an educational resource, but it would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security practices. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis, but the site’s content and structure support its credibility.

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

13 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 website serves as a niche educational directory focused on the Latvian market, providing detailed information about a wide range of educational institutions and programs. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive coverage and categorization of education levels and types, making it a valuable resource for the local community. The business model appears to be based on advertising and possibly sponsored listings. The target customers include students, parents, educators, and adult learners. Growth indicators include extensive listings and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes various educational institutions featured on the site. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital services, improve privacy compliance, and enhance user engagement through additional features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information indicate gaps in security best practices. Compliance with GDPR is questionable due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is not evident. The security culture appears basic, focused on standard web practices but lacking advanced protections. Business impact of these gaps could include regulatory penalties and increased risk of web-based attacks. Enhancing security headers, implementing privacy policies, and establishing incident response contacts are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery 1.11.1, styled with the Kube CSS framework. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and Google Adsense for monetization. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure and categorized content. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading improving load times. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the source. Technical debt may exist due to use of older jQuery version. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve SEO with richer metadata, and enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
