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

Rīgas Čiekurkalna pamatskola is a local primary educational institution based in Riga, Latvia, providing comprehensive primary education along with extracurricular and preschool education services. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and staff, offering access to schedules, school documents, and contact details. The school maintains a social media presence on Facebook to engage with its community. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and Fusion Builder, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks several important security headers and does not provide incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy and cookie policy page, but no active consent mechanism is present. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could enhance its security posture and privacy compliance to better protect its users and data.

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

9 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. 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 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention rcps.lv, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for rcps.lv right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 operates as a public educational entity focused on primary education within the Riga region. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting students and their families, with no commercial activities evident. The website supports the school's operational needs by providing administrative information, educational programs, and extracurricular activities. The presence of official contact details and social media links supports community engagement and transparency. The lack of advanced marketing or analytics tools suggests a focus on informational rather than commercial objectives. The school appears well-positioned locally but does not demonstrate broader market ambitions or partnerships beyond its educational mandate.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a security.txt file or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partially addressed but could be improved with an explicit cookie consent mechanism. Regular updates and security hardening measures are recommended to enhance the overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details and ensure they are easily accessible and understandable to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Avada theme and Fusion Builder plugin, leveraging jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality. The site loads scripts and styles efficiently, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of JavaScript assets. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and adaptive navigation menus. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and Open Graph data, although structured data like JSON-LD is not present. Accessibility features are basic but present, including skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in caching and minimizing render-blocking resources. The technical stack is standard for educational institutions and supports maintainability and scalability.
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.
