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

Piebalgas muzeju apvienība "Orisāre" is a small cultural heritage organization based in Latvia, dedicated to preserving and promoting the historical and cultural uniqueness of the Piebalga region. The website serves as an informational portal showcasing museum exhibitions, cultural events, and historical narratives related to notable local figures and traditions. The target audience includes tourists, local visitors, and cultural enthusiasts interested in Latvian heritage. Technically, the website is built on the anaZana CMS platform, utilizing older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.8.1, and integrates Google Analytics and Alexa Certify for visitor tracking. The site is accessible over HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for improvement in security and compliance. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting domain trust analysis. Overall, the site is functional with basic content quality and moderate technical implementation but requires enhancements in privacy 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.

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

      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 organization operates as a non-profit cultural association focusing on regional heritage preservation. Its market position is niche and regional, serving a specialized audience interested in Latvian culture and history. The business model revolves around museum exhibitions, cultural programming, and educational outreach rather than commercial activities. The website links to several official Latvian cultural institutions and tourism services, indicating partnerships within the cultural sector. Social media presence on Twitter and Facebook supports community engagement. The lack of detailed business registration or contact information on the site suggests a small-scale operation primarily focused on cultural promotion rather than commercial enterprise.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are important to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known JavaScript vulnerabilities if not properly patched. No forms or input fields are present on the main page, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. Overall, the security posture is basic and would benefit from enhancements to headers, library updates, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries such as jQuery to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and implement an incident response plan to improve security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the anaZana CMS platform with a dated jQuery 1.8.1 library, which may pose security risks. It uses Google Analytics and Alexa Certify for visitor tracking and marketing insights. The site is served over HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers. Performance appears moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices beyond basic CSS. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but minimal. Accessibility features are minimal. The site structure is clear but content quality is basic, with some placeholder or minimal textual content. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated and could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
