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

The portal maintains a strong market position as a major Latvian news source with diversified content and multiple affiliated domains. Its business model relies primarily on advertising revenue, supported by integration with major ad networks and tracking services. The target audience is broad, encompassing general Latvian internet users seeking news and entertainment. The presence of multiple partner sites indicates a strategic ecosystem approach to content delivery. The site’s content quality and branding are consistent, supporting user engagement and retention. However, the absence of detailed business registration or company information on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and partial implementation of security headers. It uses consent management tools to comply with GDPR and employs reputable analytics and advertising platforms. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents a compliance and operational gap. The extensive use of third-party scripts increases the attack surface and necessitates regular security audits. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Enhancing security headers and publishing incident response contacts would improve the security posture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies.
  5. Maintain transparency about data retention policies and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy front-end with lazy loading for images and ads to optimize performance. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and push notifications, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Google Fonts for typography. While no specific CMS was identified, the structure suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and SEO. The use of origin trials and experimental features shows a willingness to adopt new web technologies. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of multiple CDN domains suggests distributed content delivery.
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.
