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

The website roja.lv serves as the official online portal for Rojas pagasts, a local government entity in Latvia. It provides residents and visitors with news, event calendars, public service information, and tourism-related content. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and consistent branding, targeting local community members and tourists. The business model is public service oriented, focusing on community engagement and information dissemination. Technically, the site employs common web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, and several UI libraries such as Fancybox and Tooltipster. The website is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic but present through meta tags and structured content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by base href https://roja.lv) but lacks visible security headers such as CSP or HSTS. Forms do not show explicit anti-CSRF tokens, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating some privacy awareness, but a full privacy policy page is missing, only a cookie policy PDF is linked. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website is a functional and trustworthy local government portal with room for improvement in security hardening and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, and enhancing accessibility and SEO.

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"

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

Rojas pagasts operates as a local government authority providing essential community services and information. Its market position is that of a trusted public institution serving residents and visitors of the Roja parish area. The website supports community engagement through news updates, event calendars, and service announcements. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government entity. The target audience includes local citizens, tourists, and stakeholders interested in municipal affairs. The partnership ecosystem includes regional government and public service organizations, as evidenced by linked domains such as kurzemesregions.lv and latvija.lv. The business model focuses on transparency, accessibility, and community support, with growth indicators seen in active event scheduling and public communications.

Security posture

The current security posture of roja.lv is moderate but lacks several best practices. HTTPS is used, but no security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options are detected. Forms lack visible anti-CSRF protections. No published security or incident response policies reduce transparency and preparedness perception. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent, but a full privacy policy is missing. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security configurations, policy publication, and incident response readiness to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed privacy policy and security policy pages to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Add anti-CSRF tokens to all forms to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and several UI enhancement libraries such as Fancybox and Tooltipster. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and performance, though no advanced frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. The HTML is valid and well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO. However, the absence of modern security headers and lack of visible CMS or hosting provider information indicate potential technical debt and areas for modernization. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
