RTU Olaines Tehnoloģiju koledža is a state-accredited professional higher education institution in Latvia affiliated with Riga Technical University. It offers vocational secondary education, short-cycle professional higher education, and adult education programs. The website is well-structured, content-rich, and targets students seeking professional education in Latvia. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern theme and includes standard tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel with opt-out options. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies.

Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security best 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

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Security headers

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 institution holds a solid market position as a recognized educational provider in Latvia, supported by state accreditation and RTU affiliation. Its business model focuses on delivering accredited educational programs and participating in international projects like Erasmus+. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a clear target audience of students and adult learners. Partnerships with financial institutions like Swedbank and participation in EU-funded projects indicate a stable operational ecosystem. The content quality and branding consistency support a credible and professional image.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder timely security issue management. The use of third-party analytics and tracking is balanced with opt-out options, but further transparency and controls would enhance compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to facilitate security issue reporting and management.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Enfold theme and includes common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and MediaElement.js. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and structured data for content. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for user tracking, integrated via a popular plugin. There is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and professional online presence.
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.
