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

Ropažu novada pašvaldība is the official local government authority for the Ropaži municipality in Latvia, established in 2021 following administrative reform. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for residents and businesses, providing access to municipal services, news, events, and contact information. The site is built on Drupal CMS and incorporates modern web technologies including Google reCAPTCHA and Google Analytics for security and analytics purposes. The content is well-structured, primarily in Latvian, with a focus on local government transparency and community engagement. Technically, the website demonstrates good digital maturity with mobile optimization, accessibility features, and a cookie consent mechanism that complies with EU regulations. However, the absence of a clearly published privacy policy and terms of service pages is a notable gap in privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though additional security headers could enhance protection. Overall, the website reflects a trustworthy and professional government entity with a strong focus on service delivery and community information. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the site content and structure strongly support its authenticity. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation and security headers are recommended to further strengthen compliance and security.

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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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 Ropažu municipality government operates in the public sector, providing essential administrative, social, cultural, and infrastructural services to its residents and businesses. Its market position is that of a regional authority with a mandate to serve local community needs. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service delivery and community engagement. The website supports transparency and accessibility, offering detailed navigation to various municipal departments, services, and legal documents. Partnerships with national government portals and agencies are evident through external links. Growth indicators include active communication of events, projects, and development plans. The site’s ecosystem integrates analytics and security tools to support operational effectiveness.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.
  5. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to include granular user controls and detailed data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site uses responsive design principles with Bootstrap components for navigation and layout. Fonts are loaded via WOFF2 for performance optimization. Accessibility features include font size adjustments, contrast modes, and keyboard navigable controls. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta viewport tags. Performance appears moderate with some preloading of fonts and asynchronous script loading. There is no explicit hosting provider information in the HTML content. The technical stack is appropriate for a government website, balancing usability, security, and 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.
