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

The Latvijas dzelzceļa vēstures muzejs (Latvian Railway Museum) is a cultural institution dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of railways in Latvia. It operates as a small-sized non-profit entity affiliated with the Latvian Railways group, offering museum exhibitions, educational programs, guided tours, and a souvenir shop. The website is professionally designed using Drupal 7 CMS and Bootstrap, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience primarily in Latvian with English language support. The museum targets general visitors, railway enthusiasts, students, and event organizers, positioning itself as a leading railway heritage institution in Latvia. Technically, the website employs a mature but somewhat dated technology stack including jQuery 1.8, Drupal 7, and Bootstrap 3. It integrates Google Maps and Google Analytics for enhanced user experience and analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS with no detected WAF or blocking mechanisms, ensuring secure access. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as cookie consent compliance and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks advanced security headers and uses an older jQuery version, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned cookie and privacy policies. Contact information is clearly presented, though no explicit security or incident response policies are found. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its cultural and educational mission effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers, technology updates, and explicit security policies would enhance its security posture and trustworthiness further.

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

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      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 museum operates within the transportation and non-profit cultural sectors, leveraging its affiliation with Latvian Railways to maintain a strong market position as the primary railway history museum in Latvia. Its business model focuses on cultural preservation, education, and tourism, generating revenue through ticket sales, guided tours, and souvenir sales. The target audience includes local and international visitors, students, and railway enthusiasts. The museum maintains a consistent brand and digital presence, supported by active social media channels. Partnerships with various Latvian Railways divisions enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include regular events, exhibitions, and digital content updates. The website reflects a stable operational status with moderate technical maturity.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate to good. It enforces HTTPS, employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR, and avoids exposing sensitive data. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. The lack of explicit incident response contacts or security policies limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls to mitigate emerging threats and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy or incident response page with contact information for reporting security issues.
  4. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS connections and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and third-party script reviews to ensure ongoing security compliance and risk mitigation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with Bootstrap 3 for responsive design, supplemented by jQuery 1.8 and jQuery UI components. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site uses multiple CSS and JS libraries including Colorbox and Views Slideshow for UI enhancements. Performance is moderate, with some legacy scripts that could be updated for better speed and security. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly implemented. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization to improve security and performance.
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.
