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

The website patyciudezute.lt is a Lithuanian government-supported platform managed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport (LR Švietimo, mokslo ir sporto ministerija). It provides an anonymous reporting tool for students, parents, and teachers to report bullying incidents in schools. The platform includes mobile applications for Android and iOS, enhancing accessibility and ease of use. The site is designed with a modern WordPress CMS using Elementor and Astra theme, reflecting a moderate to good level of digital maturity. The content is well-structured, relevant, and targeted specifically at the educational sector within Lithuania. Technically, the website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses common web technologies such as jQuery and FontAwesome, and integrates SEO tools like Yoast SEO. However, some security best practices such as implementing security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) and explicit privacy and cookie policies are missing or not easily discoverable. No forms are present on the homepage, indicating that reporting likely occurs through authenticated or separate portals. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, but the website's government affiliation and content suggest legitimacy. From a security perspective, the site has a good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and formal incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is limited to a single official email address for school registration. Overall, the site is trustworthy but could improve transparency and compliance. Strategically, the platform serves an important social function in Lithuania's education system, providing a confidential channel to combat bullying. Enhancing security and privacy policies, publishing incident response information, and improving accessibility would strengthen user trust and compliance with regulations.

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

  2. Security headers

    • 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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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

Patyciudezute.lt operates as a government-backed educational service platform focused on bullying prevention and reporting. Its market positioning is unique as a state-supported tool, which provides a competitive advantage in trust and adoption within schools. The business model is service-oriented, offering free access to schools and users, supported by the Ministry of Education. Revenue streams are likely public funding rather than commercial. The target customers are schools, students, parents, and educators in Lithuania. Growth indicators include mobile app availability and ongoing updates. The partnership ecosystem includes LITNET for domain and email management. The platform's operations emphasize confidentiality, rapid response, and ease of use, aligning with public sector social responsibility goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities in the HTML content or libraries. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is incomplete, lacking explicit privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which is critical under GDPR. Data protection officer contact information is not provided. The platform's focus on anonymity and confidentiality is a positive security culture indicator, but formal policies and technical controls should be enhanced to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Create and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file for reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.5.15 with the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. It uses common web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and Google Fonts. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with Yoast SEO plugin integration. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack is standard for government-related informational sites but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
