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

Jēkabpils Kultūras Pārvalde is a local government cultural administration entity serving the city of Jēkabpils, Latvia. The website provides information about cultural events, amateur art, galleries, and official documents related to cultural activities. It targets residents and visitors interested in cultural affairs within the city and surrounding region. The business model is that of a government service provider, with a clear affiliation to the Jēkabpils city municipality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and uses common plugins such as NextGEN Gallery and Events Manager. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with a moderate performance profile and basic accessibility features. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a linked privacy policy page in Latvian. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent to comply with GDPR. However, no advanced security headers or explicit security policies are publicly disclosed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust analysis. Overall, the site appears legitimate and consistent with a local government cultural institution. The overall risk is low given the nature of the site and its content. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and maintaining regular updates of the WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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

    • 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"

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

Jēkabpils Kultūras Pārvalde holds a stable position as a local government cultural authority in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in official city affiliation and provision of cultural event information and amateur art promotion. The business model is public service oriented, funded by municipal resources. The target customers are local residents, cultural participants, and visitors. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site shows active event promotion and community engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes local government and web development agency SEM.lv. The operations reflect a focused cultural administration with a clear digital presence supporting community outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. Compliance with GDPR is evident but no explicit NIS2 or ISO 27001 frameworks are referenced. Incident response readiness cannot be assessed due to missing contact information. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could be enhanced to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Ensure all WordPress core, themes, and plugins are regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate potential risks.

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.
