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

The website represents the official online presence of the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Latvia, a key government institution responsible for legal prosecution and public legal services. It provides comprehensive information about its organizational structure, functions, news updates, reports, and contact details, targeting the general public, legal professionals, and government officials. The site is multilingual, supporting Latvian, English, and Russian, enhancing accessibility for diverse audiences. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI enhancement libraries such as Owl Carousel and Cube Portfolio. It is well-optimized for mobile devices and includes accessibility features like font resizing and contrast options. The site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration, though some security headers are missing. Privacy and cookie policies are present with a consent mechanism, indicating good privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates solid practices such as secure AJAX form submissions and cookie consent management. However, the absence of explicit security headers and a public security or incident response policy suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification, but the official .lv domain and consistent government branding strongly support authenticity. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public service role effectively. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen trust 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.

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

10 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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 Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Latvia operates as a government entity with a clear mandate in legal prosecution and public legal services. Its market position is authoritative and national, serving the Latvian population and legal system. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance and legal enforcement. The website's content and linked partner domains indicate strong integration with European justice networks and national government portals. The presence of detailed reports, statistics, and public communications reflects transparency and accountability. The institution maintains active social media channels to engage with the public and disseminate information. Growth indicators are not applicable given the government nature, but the site shows ongoing content updates and digital maturity. The partnership ecosystem includes EU justice bodies and national digital signature services, reinforcing its operational legitimacy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling via AJAX. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection is a notable gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page was found, which is recommended for government sites to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and formalized security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a robust and modern front-end technology stack centered on jQuery and Bootstrap, supplemented by specialized plugins for sliders, galleries, and UI enhancements. The site is responsive and includes accessibility features such as font resizing and contrast modes. Performance is moderate, with multiple external resources loaded from trusted CDNs and the site’s own domain. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature approach to user behavior tracking and data collection. Technical debt appears low, but the site could improve by consolidating scripts and optimizing load times further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience aligned with government digital standards.
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.
