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 institute holds a strong position as a national energy research entity with a medium organizational size. Its business model revolves around research, consulting, project participation, and education. The presence of certifications and active social media channels enhances credibility. Partnerships with related domains such as apc.lei.lt and e-dih.lt indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The website content is regularly updated with news and events, signaling active engagement with stakeholders. Revenue streams likely include government funding, project grants, and consulting fees. The target audience includes academic, public sector, and business clients in Lithuania and Europe.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a cookie consent mechanism are notable gaps in GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of reputable third-party services like Mailerlite and Google Analytics is evident, with moderate user tracking. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Seek to obtain and publish WHOIS domain registration details or use a WHOIS privacy service with transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of Bootstrap 3.3.7, jQuery, Slick Carousel, Fancybox, and Select2 libraries. It loads fonts from Google Fonts and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Mailerlite. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updates to newer Bootstrap versions and enhanced accessibility compliance. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization.
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.
