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

6 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

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 represents a medium-sized local government entity operating in the public sector within Latvia. Its market position is that of an essential municipal authority providing administrative, social, cultural, and economic services to its constituency. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery and community engagement. The site supports transparency and citizen participation through detailed sections on governance, budgets, legal acts, and public consultations. Partnerships with national agencies and regional initiatives are evident through linked external domains. The digital presence supports the municipality's strategic goals in regional development, tourism, and social welfare.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user control, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and explicit security framework adherence statements. Regular updates and monitoring of Drupal core and modules are recommended to maintain security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Add an incident response contact or abuse email to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to improve vulnerability disclosure transparency.
  4. Ensure all security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are explicitly set and documented.
  5. Maintain regular updates of Drupal CMS and third-party modules to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design and Google services for analytics and bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as font size adjustment and contrast modes. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and lazy loading of images. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta viewport tags. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts like reCAPTCHA to improve load times. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the HTML content.
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.
