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

Latvijas Valsts ceļi is a Latvian government-owned entity responsible for managing the national road network. The website serves as an official portal providing information on road conditions, construction works, traffic restrictions, and related services. It targets the general public, government stakeholders, and businesses involved in transportation and infrastructure. The organization positions itself as the authoritative source for road management in Latvia, offering services such as permits, traffic data, and maintenance updates. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.5.2 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin, and the site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, and accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses HTTPS with secure cookie settings, though lacks some advanced security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure cookies, but does not expose evident vulnerabilities or sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR. Contact information is comprehensive, including emails, phone numbers, and physical address. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence for a government transportation authority. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification, but the content and external references support its authenticity. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and trustworthiness.

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"

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

Latvijas Valsts ceļi operates as a key governmental organization in Latvia's transportation sector, managing the national road infrastructure. Its market position is strong as the official authority, with no direct competitors in its domain. The business model is service-oriented, funded by government budgets, focusing on infrastructure maintenance, traffic management, and public information dissemination. Revenue streams are primarily governmental funding rather than commercial sales. The target customers include Latvian citizens, transport companies, municipalities, and construction contractors. Growth indicators include digital service enhancements and public engagement via news and alerts. Partnerships with European and Baltic road organizations are evident through linked domains. The company maintains a clear operational focus with strategic communication channels and public transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure cookie attributes. The use of Facebook Pixel indicates some user tracking but is managed with privacy notices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The privacy policy is comprehensive, indicating awareness of data protection requirements. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements to mitigate risks and improve incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and compliance with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure privacy compliance and minimize unnecessary data collection.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimization to improve user experience and SEO rankings.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform version 6.5.2, utilizing popular libraries such as jQuery 3.5.1, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Font Awesome for icons. SEO is managed through the Yoast SEO plugin, which provides structured data in JSON-LD format and Open Graph metadata for social media integration. The site loads multiple JavaScript files for functionality including contact forms, maps, alerts, and cookie management. Performance is moderate with caching and minified CSS assets. Mobile optimization is good with a dedicated mobile header and navigation. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and language attributes. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
