Risk levelMedium

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

Mālpils vidusskola is a local educational institution in Latvia providing secondary education services. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and the community, offering details about school administration, teaching staff, educational programs, extracurricular activities, and projects such as Erasmus+. The site is built on WordPress with a modern theme and plugins, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure includes standard web technologies like jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI enhancements. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site is functional, safe, and appropriate for its audience but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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 school operates in the education sector, targeting students and local community members. It leverages partnerships with recognized educational platforms and participates in EU-funded projects, enhancing its educational offerings. The business model is typical for a public school, focusing on delivering quality education and community engagement. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides relevant content, though lacks detailed business contact information and formal policies. Growth indicators include active project participation and social media presence. The partnership ecosystem includes platforms like e-klase.lv and skola2030.lv, which support educational activities.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Include clear contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user support.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information and consider privacy protection if justified, ensuring transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress 6.8.2 with the GeneratePress theme and several plugins including Owl Carousel and ICS Calendar. The tech stack is modern and supports responsive design, providing a good user experience on mobile devices. Performance appears moderate, with no obvious broken elements or errors in the HTML. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data, though no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data was explicitly found in the provided HTML snippet. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. There is an opportunity to improve technical security by adding missing HTTP headers and formalizing privacy and compliance 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.
