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

Lielvārds SIA is a Latvian company specializing in educational content and solutions, offering both printed and digital learning materials alongside teacher training and educational technology support. Their 'Lielvārds 360' approach integrates multiple facets of education to enhance teaching and learning experiences. The company targets schools, teachers, and students primarily within Latvia, positioning itself as a key player in the national education sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Vimeo for video content, and Chatlio for live chat support. The presence of CSRF tokens and HTTPS indicates a good baseline security posture. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting awareness of privacy compliance requirements. Security-wise, while HTTPS and CSRF protections are in place, the absence of explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure information suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, but the visible business information and consistent branding support trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professionally designed, functional, and compliant with basic privacy standards. Strategic enhancements in security headers, incident response transparency, and WHOIS data availability would strengthen the company's digital 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

3 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 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 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. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Lielvārds operates in the education sector with a focus on providing comprehensive educational resources and services. Their business model combines direct sales of educational materials with digital content and teacher development programs, targeting educational institutions and professionals. The company leverages partnerships such as with Soma.lv and maintains an active online presence including social media channels. Their market position appears stable within Latvia, supported by government contracts and investment agency agreements. Growth potential exists through digital transformation of educational content and expanding professional development offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is addressed through cookie consent and privacy policy presence, but could be enhanced with clearer data retention and processing disclosures. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Regularly monitor and update third-party libraries and scripts to reduce risk of vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built likely on Ruby on Rails framework, utilizing Turbolinks and asset pipeline for efficient resource loading. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics and Chatlio for analytics and customer engagement. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph images. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize user experience. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and formalizing security policies would improve robustness.
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.
