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

Rīgas Tehniskā koledža is a well-established Latvian educational institution specializing in technical and vocational education, offering secondary, higher, and adult education programs. The institution has a strong market position supported by a 90-year history and partnerships with reputable industry players such as AirBaltic, Festo, and MikroTik. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting students and adult learners seeking technical education. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, including jQuery and Owl Carousel, and uses HTTPS to secure communications. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, but the domain appears legitimate and privacy protection is justified. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations.

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

    • 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. 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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The institution operates in the education sector with a focus on technical and vocational training. Its business model revolves around providing accredited study programs for various education levels and adult learners. The college benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem with industry leaders, enhancing its practical training offerings and market relevance. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a clear target audience of students and adult learners in Latvia. The absence of explicit contact details on the website suggests reliance on internal communication channels or offline contact methods. The institution's longevity and partnerships contribute to a competitive advantage in the Latvian education market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and a cookie consent banner with granular options is present, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header implementation and publish security policies to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible security reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 3.6.3, Owl Carousel for sliders, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography, indicating a modern but traditional front-end stack. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in SEO and accessibility. The site uses custom CSS and JavaScript files, and no analytics or tracking scripts were found in the provided HTML. The technical infrastructure supports a stable user experience 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.
