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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 platform positions itself as an important resource for the Latvian innovation ecosystem, targeting startups, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts. Its business model revolves around content provision and community engagement rather than direct sales. The absence of explicit contact details or commercial transaction mechanisms suggests a focus on information dissemination and support. The use of analytics and tracking tools indicates an interest in understanding user behavior and optimizing content delivery. The website's consistent branding and quality content support its credibility in the local market. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the content or linked domains.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page limits its security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide explicit incident response contacts, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational website but could be enhanced with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Consider adding terms of service and more detailed business information to increase trust and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with chunked JavaScript assets for performance optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as text size adjustment and contrast mode. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details were not identified from the HTML content. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags for social media integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with opportunities for further optimization 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.
