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

9 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

  2. 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 college targets students interested in cultural and artistic education within Latvia, offering both full-time and part-time study programs. Its market position is strong within the local education sector, leveraging tradition and experience. The business model focuses on educational services supplemented by cultural events and workshops. The presence of social media and event management tools indicates active engagement with its community. The website content and structure support student recruitment and information dissemination, with clear navigation and relevant content. The lack of detailed privacy and security policies suggests potential compliance gaps that could be addressed to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Facebook Pixel is used for marketing and tracking, which requires careful privacy management. No explicit security headers such as CSP or HSTS were detected in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain risks. The absence of a public security policy or incident response information limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML source. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended HTTP headers, publishing security policies, and conducting regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance beyond the current basic level to improve inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and several popular plugins for SEO, events management, and user interaction. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is addressed but only at a basic level, with an accessibility statement indicating partial compliance. The site uses Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, which requires proper privacy management. No hosting provider information was found in the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy features.
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.
