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

Latvijas Krājbanka is an insolvent Latvian joint stock bank under liquidation, with insolvency proceedings managed by KPMG Baltics. The website provides information about the insolvency status, financial statements dating back to 2011, and details on state-guaranteed compensation disbursement to clients. The target audience includes former clients, creditors, and stakeholders seeking official updates and documentation. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS using older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7.2 and MooTools, indicating a need for modernization. The site is accessible without blocking or WAF interference, but lacks visible HTTPS confirmation and security headers, which are critical for secure communications. Contact information is clearly presented with official emails and phone numbers, but no forms or social media presence are evident. Privacy compliance is minimal, with a privacy policy PDF available but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site serves its informational purpose but requires technical and security improvements to enhance 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

12 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 bank operates in the finance sector as an insolvent entity undergoing liquidation. Its business model focuses on insolvency administration and client compensation management. The website acts as an official communication channel for stakeholders, providing financial reports and legal information. The presence of KPMG Baltics as insolvency administrator adds credibility. The bank's market position is limited due to insolvency, but it maintains transparency through published financial statements and contact details. The site has limited digital marketing or analytics presence, indicating a low emphasis on customer acquisition or engagement. Partnerships appear limited to insolvency administration and website design. Growth prospects are minimal given the liquidation status.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with no visible HTTPS confirmation or security headers in the provided data. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7.2 introduces potential vulnerabilities. Email addresses are obfuscated via JavaScript to reduce spam, which is a positive practice. However, the absence of cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms is a gap. No incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency on security readiness. Overall, the site requires upgrades to modern security standards including HTTPS enforcement, security headers, updated libraries, and privacy compliance to reduce risk and improve stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and ensure all site content is served securely.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with additional JavaScript libraries including MooTools and an outdated jQuery version (1.7.2). The site uses multiple CSS stylesheets and some conditional IE stylesheets, indicating legacy support. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization detected. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no advanced features or ARIA roles observed. SEO is basic with meta charset and title tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data present. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the data. The site lacks modern technical enhancements and would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
