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

Pilseta24.lv is a Latvian regional city internet portal offering local news, classified ads, photo galleries, forums, city maps, and social networking features tailored to various Latvian cities via subdomains. The website targets general audiences interested in local events and community engagement, positioning itself as a localized media platform. Technically, the site employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5 and jQuery, integrates Matomo and Google Analytics for user behavior tracking with consent mechanisms, and serves ads through Setupad and Google Ad Manager. The site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS is presumably enabled, no explicit security headers were detected, and privacy policies or contact information for security incidents are not present in the analyzed content. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy assessment. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and functional but would benefit from enhanced 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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Pilseta24.lv operates as a small-sized media portal focused on Latvian cities, providing localized news and community services. Its business model likely relies on advertising revenue through Setupad and Google Ad Manager networks. The presence of multiple city-specific subdomains indicates a strategy to capture local markets and audiences. The portal's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive local content and community features such as forums and classified ads. The integration of social media (notably Twitter) and analytics tools supports audience engagement and data-driven improvements. However, the lack of visible company contact details and privacy policies may hinder trust and regulatory compliance. Growth opportunities include expanding business information transparency and enhancing security and privacy features.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate security maturity level. It implements cookie consent with granular categories and consent-based script loading, which aligns with GDPR principles. However, no privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which are important for protecting users and preventing attacks. The absence of WHOIS data and registrant information reduces the ability to verify domain legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the content. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of security contact information. Overall, the site should improve its security posture by adding security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify via external tools.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and advertising integrations to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3.5.1, ensuring responsive design and decent user experience. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Analytics, with consent-based script loading to comply with privacy regulations. Advertising is integrated through Setupad and Google Ad Manager, also respecting user consent. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses CDN services like jsDelivr. However, no CMS or backend technology was identified from the HTML. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of optimization or caching. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal but present via meta tags. The lack of security headers and privacy documentation indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas.
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.
