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

The Latvijas Nacionālais vēstures muzejs (Latvian National History Museum) operates as a government cultural institution providing historical exhibitions, educational programs, and research services. It maintains a strong market position as one of Latvia's oldest museums with multiple operational locations. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and targets a broad audience including the general public, students, and researchers. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and libraries, offering good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response details are absent. Overall, the site is trustworthy and compliant with GDPR, but WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting full domain legitimacy verification.

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 museum's business model is government-funded cultural service provision, focusing on exhibitions, education, and research. It leverages digital platforms such as an online shop and digital museum (eMuzejs) to extend reach. The target customers include local and international visitors, educational institutions, and cultural researchers. The museum maintains active social media channels to engage audiences. The website's structure and content reflect a mature digital presence with clear navigation and multilingual support. Partnerships include related domains for e-commerce and digital exhibits. The museum's operations appear stable with no evident suspicious activities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with data protection regulations. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The museum should consider publishing security documentation and establishing clear incident response channels to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and alerting mechanisms for potential security incidents.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper, FancyApps UI, and Vanilla Calendar Pro. It uses the WPML plugin for multilingual support and Grand Cookie for consent management. The site is well-structured with valid meta tags, SEO optimization, and accessibility features such as font size and contrast controls. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site is mobile-optimized and uses SVG logos for crisp branding. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security documentation.
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.
