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

Rīgas Ķengaraga vidusskola is a Latvian secondary educational institution with an online presence primarily aimed at students, parents, and educators. The website provides comprehensive information about school activities, educational programs, staff, and contact details. It maintains GDPR compliance with clear privacy and cookie policies and uses WordPress as its CMS platform. The site integrates embedded multimedia content such as YouTube videos, which are privacy-protected via consent mechanisms. Technically, the site uses standard WordPress themes and plugins, including multilingual support and cookie consent tools. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, but the domain and content appear legitimate for an educational institution. Overall, the site is functional, moderately optimized, and trustworthy for its intended audience.

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. 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"

      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

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 operates as a public educational entity in Riga, Latvia, focusing on secondary education. Its market position is local with a medium-sized audience comprising students and parents. The business model is non-commercial, centered on education and community engagement. The website supports various educational projects and partnerships with local initiatives. Revenue streams are likely public funding and municipal support. The partnership ecosystem includes local educational projects and government bodies. The website content and structure reflect a focus on transparency, compliance, and community service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented to comply with GDPR. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site lacks explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could enhance security readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public educational website but should be enhanced to mitigate potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to patch known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add an incident response page or contact channel to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Twenty Ten theme, with jQuery and Leaflet libraries for interactive maps. It uses WPML for multilingual support and multiple cookie consent plugins to ensure GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site uses embedded YouTube videos with privacy blocking until consent is given. No advanced hosting or CDN information was detected. The technical stack is standard for educational websites but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
