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

8 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

      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

LatRailNet holds a key position in Latvia's railway infrastructure sector, operating under the parent company Latvijas dzelzceļš. Its business model revolves around infrastructure management and regulatory compliance, serving transport companies and public service obligations. The company maintains a medium-sized operational scale with a focus on transparency, evidenced by published official documents and active communication channels. The website supports multilingual access and integrates tools for user engagement such as newsletters and event calendars. Partnerships include social media presence on LinkedIn and Facebook, enhancing stakeholder communication. The company demonstrates a stable market position with consistent domain registration and a clear organizational structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information. Use of security best practices is evident, though the absence of certain HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No signs of malware, phishing, or vulnerabilities were detected in the content. The site uses reputable plugins and frameworks, reducing risk from outdated components. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit incident response contacts or security policies are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of incident response contact channels, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Continue improving accessibility and mobile optimization to maintain high user experience standards.

The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for mobile devices, and includes SEO best practices such as canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence suitable for a government-affiliated enterprise.
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.
