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

Rīgas pamatskola "Rīdze" is a primary educational institution based in Riga, Latvia, offering comprehensive primary education and a variety of extracurricular interest programs such as music, dance, theater, and STEM. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and the local community, providing news, event updates, and details about school projects and achievements. The school appears to be a small-sized entity focused on local educational services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, providing a moderately optimized and mobile-friendly experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, but the domain and content indicate a legitimate and established educational entity. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve 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

  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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ridze.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 in the education sector, targeting local families and students in Riga. Its business model is typical for public educational institutions, likely funded by government or municipal sources. The website highlights active participation in national cultural and educational events, indicating strong community engagement. The presence of multiple projects such as Erasmus+ and local initiatives suggests a proactive approach to educational enrichment. The lack of explicit business contact details on the site may reflect typical public institution practices. The school maintains a Facebook presence for outreach. Growth indicators are not explicit but the regular news updates and project involvement suggest ongoing activity and relevance in the local education market.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks. No visible vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy notices, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer or responsible contact.
  4. Regularly update WordPress and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.1.18, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery 1.12.4 for scripting. It employs plugins like ResponsiveSlides and 3D Flipbook for enhanced user experience. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and WordPress core domains. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive menus and layouts. Accessibility features are basic, with some semantic HTML but no ARIA landmarks or advanced accessibility aids detected. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags found. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
