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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Medniekiem.lv holds a niche position in the Latvian media sector, focusing on hunting-related content and community services. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized content and active user forums, fostering a dedicated user base. The business model leverages advertising and community engagement, with multiple revenue streams from ad networks and possibly sponsored content. The target customers are hunters and outdoor sports enthusiasts primarily in Latvia. The presence of extensive third-party advertising partners indicates a mature partnership ecosystem. The site’s consistent branding and regular content updates suggest stable operations with potential for growth in related outdoor and hunting markets.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and secure cookie practices for user consent. The presence of multiple security headers, including partial Content-Security-Policy via origin trials, enhances protection against common web threats. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response plan, or security contact points represents a compliance gap. The comprehensive consent management platform aligns with GDPR requirements, demonstrating strong data protection practices. Overall, the security posture is robust for a content portal but could be improved by adding explicit security governance documentation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to enhance protection against XSS and related attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing detailed information about data retention and processing practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern yet straightforward technology stack centered around jQuery and Google services for fonts, ads, and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes SEO-friendly meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. No CMS is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. The extensive use of third-party ad and tracking vendors introduces complexity and potential privacy risks, mitigated by a robust consent management platform. Technical risks include reliance on multiple external domains and the need for continuous monitoring of third-party components. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and compliance.
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.
