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

6 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

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 school positions itself as a leading business education provider in Latvia with international affiliations and accreditations. Its business model focuses on degree programs and executive education, targeting both local and international students. The presence of partner institutions like BI Norwegian Business School indicates strategic alliances enhancing its market position. The website's content and navigation support prospective students through program details, application processes, and alumni testimonials, indicating a customer-centric approach. Marketing and analytics tools are used to optimize user engagement and recruitment efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Cloudflare DNS and CDN services adds an additional layer of protection. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by publishing explicit security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing GDPR compliance and data handling.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to enhance legal transparency.
  3. Provide direct contact emails and phone numbers for support and security incident reporting.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses SEO best practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional online presence.
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.
