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

NOVAkids is a private preschool educational institution located in the Quiet Center of Riga, Latvia. The kindergarten offers comprehensive childcare and educational services for children aged 18 months to 7 years, emphasizing individual attention, modern teaching methods, and a safe, stimulating environment. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, providing clear navigation and relevant content in Russian, with language options for English and Latvian. Contact information including phone number and physical address is prominently displayed, and a contact form with Google reCAPTCHA is implemented for inquiries. Technically, the site uses modern CMS and plugins but lacks some security headers and privacy-related policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance given the European location. The SSL configuration is good, ensuring secure HTTPS connections. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, but the website content and business registration number suggest a legitimate local business. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and privacy compliance. No major vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the site is suitable for its target audience of parents seeking private preschool services in Riga, with good trust indicators but lacking formal privacy and cookie policies. Recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing incident response contacts to enhance compliance and security posture.

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

  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

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

NOVAkids operates in the private education sector, targeting families in Riga, Latvia, seeking quality preschool care. The business model is service-based, charging monthly fees for full-day and half-day programs, with municipal co-financing support enhancing affordability. The kindergarten differentiates itself by combining traditional and modern educational approaches, offering multilingual staff and specialized services such as speech therapy and allergy-sensitive menus. Growth indicators include recent official status as a preschool institution and increased municipal funding. The website reflects a localized, small-sized operation with a focus on quality and trust-building through testimonials and clear contact channels. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Google reCAPTCHA v2 on its contact form, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Incident response information and security contact channels are not provided, limiting readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimization for better user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 using Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported CMS platform. It uses Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA v2 for spam protection on forms. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance appears moderate with standard optimizations but no advanced caching or CDN detected in the HTML. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. No hosting provider information was discernible from the HTML content.
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.
