Risk levelMedium

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

The website knutsskujenieks.lv is dedicated to the literary and biographical presentation of Knuts Skujenieks, a Latvian figure likely related to poetry and literature. The site offers various sections including stories, poetry in multiple languages, biography, and photo albums, targeting Latvian and English-speaking audiences interested in cultural and literary content. The website is well-structured with clear navigation and a consistent branding approach, providing a good user experience with moderate performance and mobile optimization. Technically, it uses Google Tag Manager for analytics with IP anonymization and no ad personalization, but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. Security posture is moderate with no detected security headers or explicit policies, and WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting full legitimacy verification. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which impacts compliance and user trust. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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 site appears to be a small-scale cultural or literary project focused on preserving and sharing the works and biography of Knuts Skujenieks. It does not show commercial or transactional features, indicating a non-commercial or informational business model. The target audience includes literary enthusiasts and researchers interested in Latvian poetry and biography. The absence of contact information and business credentials suggests a limited commercial presence. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of digital maturity in analytics. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the content. Growth potential may be tied to cultural interest and multilingual content expansion.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic to moderate. The site uses HTTPS (implied by external Google Tag Manager script loaded over HTTPS), but no security headers are detected in the HTML content. There are no visible forms or input fields, reducing attack surface. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy assessment. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing security contact channels to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add visible contact information including security incident response contacts.
  4. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration details to enhance legitimacy and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard HTML5 with embedded SVG graphics and JavaScript for Google Tag Manager analytics. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The site appears to be custom-built or static with CSS and JS files served from the same domain. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features include a skip navigation button and responsive viewport settings. SEO is basic with a title tag and meta viewport but lacks Open Graph or structured data markup. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modern SEO and security enhancements.
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.
