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

The Latvijas Vides ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centrs (LVĢMC) is a Latvian governmental institution dedicated to environmental, geological, and meteorological monitoring and research. The website serves as an authoritative source of environmental data and services for government agencies, researchers, and the public. The site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, Mapbox GL JS, and Google Analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service pages, as well as missing WHOIS data, limits full assessment of compliance and legitimacy. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking visible security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve transparency and security practices.

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

      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

LVĢMC operates as a government entity providing essential environmental and meteorological services in Latvia. Its market position is that of a national authority in its sector, serving public and governmental stakeholders. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on data provision and monitoring rather than commercial revenue. The website targets professionals and the general public interested in environmental data. The use of official branding and a .lv domain supports its legitimacy. The lack of visible contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in stakeholder engagement and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The site uses third-party analytics which may raise privacy considerations. The absence of explicit security or incident response policies on the site indicates limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is functional and secure enough for informational purposes but would benefit from enhanced security controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Bootstrap 3.4.1. It integrates Mapbox GL JS for mapping and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could be improved with modern optimization techniques. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not available from the data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
