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

Latvija.gov.lv is the official Latvian government portal providing a wide range of public services and digital solutions to citizens and businesses. It serves as a centralized platform for accessing government services such as residence declaration, pension management, e-address communication, and personal data management. The portal is managed by the Valsts digitālās attīstības aģentūra, reflecting a strong governmental affiliation and trustworthiness. The website targets Latvian residents and enterprises, aiming to streamline administrative processes through digital means. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript frameworks, and libraries such as Moment.js and RxJS. It uses the EservicePlatform SDK and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, session timeout warnings, and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were identified, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with access. Overall, the portal exhibits a high level of professionalism, content quality, and business credibility. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits does not detract from its legitimacy, given the official nature and consistent branding. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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

    • 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

  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

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

Latvija.gov.lv holds a strong market position as the national digital gateway for government services in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in consolidating multiple public services into a single accessible platform, improving citizen engagement and administrative efficiency. The business model is service-oriented, funded and operated by the government agency Valsts digitālās attīstības aģentūra. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service portal. The target customer segments include Latvian residents, businesses, and public sector entities. Growth indicators include continuous updates to services and integration of new digital solutions. The portal maintains partnerships with various government departments and European Union initiatives, as evidenced by linked domains and funding logos. Strategic observations highlight the portal's role in digital transformation and e-governance within Latvia.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforcement and user privacy considerations such as cookie consent and session management. The presence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security contact information is publicly available, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Establish and make publicly available a security policy and incident response contact to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Develop a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to improve transparency and security collaboration.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.
  5. Enhance performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Notes

The portal uses a modern technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and libraries such as Moment.js and RxJS. It leverages the EservicePlatform SDK for UI components and functionality. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and tracking. The website is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as text size adjustment and high contrast modes.

The site structure and SEO elements are well implemented, supporting good discoverability and user navigation.
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.
