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

Literatūras ceļvedis is a cultural and educational publication managed by the Latvian National Library and its associates, focusing on literature reviews and promoting reading culture. The website serves as an informative platform targeting librarians and individual readers, providing curated book recommendations and cultural content. The business operates within the education and media sectors, with a small organizational size and a niche market position in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing modern technologies such as React 18 and various Wix apps including Wix Blog, Pro Gallery, and Spotify Player integration. The site is hosted on Wix's infrastructure with an Ireland data center, offering moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Accessibility and SEO features are present but could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs Sentry for error monitoring, indicating a proactive approach to stability and security. However, it lacks explicit security headers and comprehensive privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for its cultural mission but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security headers, and clearer contact information to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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 website positions itself as a specialized cultural publication affiliated with the Latvian National Library, focusing on literature and reading promotion. Its business model revolves around providing curated content and recommendations to librarians and readers, supporting public library collections and individual reading choices. The presence of social media channels like Instagram, Spotify, and Soundcloud indicates a multi-channel content distribution strategy. Partnerships with national library institutions reinforce its credibility and market position. The site leverages Wix's ecosystem for content management and delivery, suggesting a cost-effective and scalable approach. Growth indicators include active blog posts and multimedia content, though direct commercial activities or revenue streams are not evident.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and integration of Sentry for error monitoring, which helps in identifying and managing runtime errors and potential security issues. The use of scripts to harden fetch and XHR requests indicates attention to secure client-side operations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which are essential for GDPR compliance and user data protection. The lack of direct contact information for security incidents or data protection officers suggests limited incident response readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging React 18 and various Wix-provided widgets and apps such as Wix Blog, Pro Gallery, and Spotify Player. It uses RequireJS for module loading and Sentry for error monitoring. The hosting is managed by Wix with data centers in Ireland. The site includes responsive design elements but is marked as not fully responsive in the configuration. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations like lazy loading of images and scripts. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks advanced SEO features. Accessibility is basic with some focus management and skip links but could be improved. The technical stack is modern but relies heavily on Wix's ecosystem, which may limit customization and control.
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.
