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

Kalnciema kvartāls is a cultural hub located in Riga, Latvia, offering a vibrant program of outdoor music concerts, art exhibitions, family events, theater performances, and educational seminars. The website serves as a portal for event information, venue rental, and market participation for local producers and artisans. The organization targets a broad audience including families, art lovers, and local community members, positioning itself as a key cultural venue in the region. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, with integration of Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a clear navigation structure, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but lacks important security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

8 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

    • 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

Kalnciema kvartāls operates in the hospitality and cultural sectors, focusing on event hosting, venue rental, and supporting local producers through markets. Its business model revolves around community engagement and cultural promotion rather than direct commercial sales. The organization leverages social media channels to maintain audience engagement and uses newsletter subscriptions for marketing. The website content and event calendar indicate active operations and a stable market presence in Riga. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site suggests a small to medium-sized non-profit or cultural entity. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital presence and formalizing privacy and security policies to build greater trust with visitors and partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. Forms collecting personal data lack visible privacy disclaimers or anti-CSRF protections, posing potential compliance and security risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Mailchimp introduces tracking but no explicit user consent mechanisms were found, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. Incident response and security policy information are not present, suggesting limited formal security governance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Configure and deploy security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and clear privacy notices for data collection.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and security policies to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for aesthetics and analytics respectively. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries including lightbox and masonry for UI enhancements. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, and mobile optimization is good. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to support a wider range of users. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site lacks advanced SEO structured data such as JSON-LD. Technical debt is low but the absence of security headers and privacy mechanisms represents a modernization opportunity to enhance compliance and security posture.
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.
