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

Pūces akadēmija is a small adult education institution based in Riga, Latvia, specializing in practical courses such as film directing, production, acting, storyboard creation, and camera operation. The website is built on WordPress and employs common plugins and marketing tools like Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenges, and the content is professionally presented in Latvian, targeting adult learners interested in creative and media arts education. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of explicit contact information and WHOIS data limits full verification of business credibility. Overall, the website presents a legitimate educational service with room for improvement in 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

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

    • 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

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security 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

The business operates in the education sector, focusing on adult learners in Riga, Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in offering specialized courses in film and media arts, which may appeal to creative professionals and hobbyists. The business model is service-based education, likely generating revenue through course fees. The website's use of SEO and marketing tools suggests an intent to attract and convert visitors effectively. However, the lack of visible contact details and formal policies may hinder trust and customer engagement. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth potential could be enhanced by improving transparency and compliance, as well as expanding digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a security.txt file or incident response contact channels, which are best practices for vulnerability disclosure and incident management. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard security enhancements and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add visible and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.
  4. Create a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a child theme 'Tabula Child 1.0.0' and uses plugins such as Bold Page Builder, Contact Form 7, and Yoast SEO. It loads jQuery and uses Google Fonts for typography. Analytics and marketing scripts include Google Analytics (gtag.js) and Facebook Pixel. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible errors or broken elements in the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with some inline CSS and multiple color schemes defined. Mobile optimization appears good with responsive meta tags and CSS adjustments. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format describing the website and breadcrumb navigation. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and adequate for a small educational website.
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.
