Jelgavas Pilsētas bibliotēka is a public library serving the Jelgava city region in Latvia, acting as a cultural, educational, and informational institution. It holds a prominent position as the main regional library in Zemgale, offering a variety of services including book lending, e-catalog access, events, exhibitions, and specialized services for visually impaired users. The website reflects a well-structured and content-rich platform targeting a broad audience including children, youth, librarians, and the general public. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, LightGallery, and Swiper.js, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA usage, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating a compliance gap. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The library operates as a government-funded non-profit entity focused on cultural and educational services. Its market position is strong within the regional public library sector in Latvia. The business model centers on public service provision with no commercial activities evident. Key services include lending, digital resources, interlibrary loans, and community engagement through events and exhibitions. The website links to multiple official and partner domains, reinforcing its institutional credibility. Growth indicators include active event calendars and social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes local government and national cultural organizations. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve digital trust through enhanced privacy and security disclosures.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Enhancing these areas would significantly improve the security and compliance posture.
Recommendations
Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen site security.
Publish a security incident response policy and provide contact channels for reporting security issues.
Monitor and update third-party libraries regularly to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Consider enabling DNSSEC for domain to enhance DNS security and trust.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern front-end technology stack including jQuery 3.7.0, LightGallery for image galleries, and Swiper.js for sliders. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot protection on forms. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as ARIA labels and font size adjustment controls. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous and deferred script loading. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced privacy compliance features to reduce technical debt and improve trustworthiness.
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.
