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

Kalsnavas pagasta pārvalde operates a local government website serving the Kalsnavas pagasts community in Latvia. The site provides news, event information, cultural and sports updates, and contact details for local administration. It targets residents and visitors seeking community information and local government services. The website is modest in scale, reflecting a small government entity with a focus on community engagement and transparency. Technically, the site uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.4.2 and the Colorbox plugin, alongside Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The design is functional but basic, with limited mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is enabled but no advanced security headers are present, and the use of outdated JavaScript libraries introduces vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent mechanisms despite GDPR applicability. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site is a legitimate local government portal but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

11 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. 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"

    • 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';…

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

The website positions itself as an essential local government communication channel, providing timely updates and event information to the community. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, focusing on public administration transparency and community engagement. The site links to partner domains such as local schools and municipal services, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. Growth indicators include regular event postings and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes local cultural and health institutions. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for digital modernization and improved user engagement through enhanced mobile responsiveness and privacy compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The site uses HTTPS but lacks critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The presence of an outdated jQuery version (1.4.2) is a significant vulnerability, exposing the site to known exploits. No visible incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak, with no cookie consent or GDPR indicators. Data protection officer contact or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Overall, the security posture requires improvement to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy policy updates to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Conduct a security audit and penetration test to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance trust and security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website relies on legacy JavaScript libraries, notably jQuery 1.4.2, which is outdated and vulnerable. The use of Colorbox plugin indicates some interactive UI elements but no modern frameworks or CMS are detected. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site uses basic CSS and HTML with charset windows-1257, indicating older encoding standards. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices or accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no structured JSON-LD data. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the source. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, updated tech stack, and improved accessibility.
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.
