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

Kandavas Lauksaimniecības tehnikums is a vocational secondary education institution based in Kandava, Latvia, founded in 1945. It offers a variety of professional programs including agricultural mechanization, automotive mechanics, electrical technician training, and hospitality services. The institution also includes territorial units Saulaines and Cīravas professional secondary schools. The website reflects a well-structured educational entity targeting students and the local community with comprehensive program information and contact details. Technically, the website is built on the Multiscreensite CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and includes multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. However, some improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Nonetheless, it lacks important security headers and privacy/cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and domain name strongly indicate a legitimate educational institution. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security practices to reduce risk and improve user confidence.

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.

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 institution holds a stable regional position in vocational education within Latvia, focusing on practical skills in agriculture, mechanics, and hospitality. Its business model is educational service delivery funded likely by government and tuition. The presence of territorial units indicates organizational growth and regional outreach. The website supports prospective students and stakeholders with detailed program offerings and contact channels, reflecting a customer-centric approach. Social media integration suggests active engagement with younger audiences. The lack of explicit revenue or partnership data limits deeper financial insights but the institution appears well-established with a clear mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate tracking but no overtly risky libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an educational site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data collection.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and update them to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform with a clean HTML5 and CSS3 structure, leveraging JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Skrollr for parallax effects. It uses CDN services for static content delivery, improving load times. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility compliance and implementation of security headers. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in resource loading and caching strategies.
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.
