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

The Linstow Art Award website represents a professional and well-structured platform dedicated to supporting young Latvian artists through an annual art award. The initiative is backed by Linstow Baltic, a leading real estate developer in the Baltics, in partnership with the Art Academy of Latvia. The site clearly communicates the award's mission, benefits, jury members, winners, and timeline, targeting emerging artists and the broader art community. The business model is non-profit and culturally focused, aiming to foster artistic growth and community engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and CookieYes for consent management. It uses standard web technologies and libraries including jQuery, Axios, and intl-tel-input for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with fast loading performance. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics with appropriate cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners to comply with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, security headers are not explicitly observed, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and security posture. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and credible digital presence for the Linstow Art Award. The main limitation is the lack of WHOIS data due to query restrictions, which prevents full domain registration verification. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen security and compliance further.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 Linstow Art Award is positioned as a culturally significant initiative with strong backing from a major Baltic real estate developer, Linstow Baltic. Its competitive advantage lies in its partnership with the Art Academy of Latvia and a distinguished international jury, which enhances its credibility and appeal to emerging artists. The business model focuses on non-profit cultural sponsorship, providing monetary awards, studio access, and exhibition opportunities. Revenue streams are likely indirect, tied to corporate social responsibility and brand positioning of Linstow Baltic. The target customers are young Latvian artists and the art community, with growth potential through increased visibility and partnerships. The website ecosystem includes social media channels on Instagram and Facebook, supporting community engagement and marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The contact form includes mandatory privacy agreement acceptance, reducing data protection risks. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent gaps in security maturity. The site does not provide explicit security or incident contact channels, which could hinder timely response to security events. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide a dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance trust signals by adding certifications or compliance badges related to data protection and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform (version 6.8.1) with SEO optimization via Yoast and cookie management through CookieYes. It uses standard JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Axios, and UI enhancements like fslightbox.js and intl-tel-input for phone input formatting. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and assets from CDN providers, supporting performance and scalability. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset delivery and caching. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, indicating a solid infrastructure supporting the business goals.
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.
