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

VAS Latvijas Autoceļu uzturētājs is a Latvian state-owned enterprise specializing in road maintenance, construction, and machinery rental services. The company serves government agencies and the public by maintaining and constructing road infrastructure across Latvia. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content about their services and products. The site targets stakeholders interested in transportation infrastructure and related services. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features such as font size and color contrast adjustments. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, CSRF tokens, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security headers and policies are not fully detailed. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear cookie policy and GDPR-aligned consent. However, the absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and functional, supporting the company's business objectives effectively. Strategically, the company should consider enhancing transparency by publishing terms of service and security policies, and improving security headers. Regular audits of third-party scripts and WHOIS data monitoring are recommended to maintain trust and compliance.

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

4 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Business profile

VAS Latvijas Autoceļu uzturētājs holds a significant position in Latvia's transportation sector as a state-owned entity responsible for road infrastructure maintenance and construction. Their business model focuses on providing essential public services, including product supply (gravel, sand, road signs), construction of road surfaces, seasonal road maintenance, and machinery rental. The company leverages partnerships with recognized organizations, enhancing its credibility and operational reach. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on government and contractor audiences, with clear service segmentation and contact channels. The presence of certifications and partner logos suggests a commitment to quality and safety standards. The company appears to have a large operational scale, consistent with a government enterprise, although specific financial or size metrics are not disclosed. Growth indicators include the promotion of smart services and digital tools like WAZE integration and electronic work accounting. The partnership ecosystem includes insurance, safety missions, and sustainability initiatives, reflecting a strategic approach to corporate responsibility and operational excellence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of CSRF tokens, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which could enhance user trust and preparedness for security events. The lack of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain registration legitimacy, which is a minor risk factor. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish clear terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Monitor WHOIS data and domain registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and detect anomalies.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing dedicated security contact channels and disclosure policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 3.5.1, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. The map feature is implemented using OpenLayers, indicating a moderate level of technical sophistication. The site is mobile optimized with accessibility features such as font size and color contrast controls. Performance appears moderate with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The site uses standard meta tags and Open Graph tags for SEO and social media integration. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected from the source. Technical debt is minimal, but the absence of some security headers and explicit framework usage suggests opportunities for modernization and hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
