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

The website saeima.lv is the official online presence of the Latvian Parliament (Latvijas Republikas Saeima). It serves as a comprehensive portal for legislative information, parliamentary session schedules, news updates, and public engagement resources. The site targets Latvian citizens, government officials, media, and international partners, providing transparent access to legislative processes and governmental activities. The business model is that of a government institution focused on public service and information dissemination. Technically, the website employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.12.4 and SWFObject for Flash content, alongside modern tools like Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is served over HTTPS, includes cookie consent mechanisms, and integrates social media channels for outreach. While the design and navigation are professional and user-friendly, mobile optimization and accessibility are basic and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and cookie consent compliance but lacks visible security headers and uses outdated libraries that may introduce vulnerabilities. There is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information published, which could be enhanced to improve trust and readiness. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no sensitive data exposure was found. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and authoritative government portal with good privacy compliance and professional content. Strategic improvements in updating legacy technologies, enhancing security headers, and publishing security policies would strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

7 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. 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

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

Latvijas Republikas Saeima holds a central position as the national legislative authority of Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive provision of legislative data, live session streaming, and public participation tools. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance and transparency. Revenue streams are government-funded. The target customer segments include citizens, lawmakers, media, and international observers. Growth indicators are linked to digital engagement and transparency initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes official social media platforms and legislative data services. Operationally, the site supports legislative workflows and public communication effectively.

Security posture

The security maturity of saeima.lv is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the use of outdated jQuery and Flash components introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices appear adequate with no exposed sensitive data. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts. Overall, the security culture is functional but could benefit from modernization and formalization of policies.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported and secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Remove or replace Flash-based components to eliminate deprecated technology risks.
  3. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to meet modern standards and broaden user reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure relies on legacy JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.12.4) and deprecated Flash technology (SWFObject), which pose security and compatibility risks. Google Tag Manager is used effectively for analytics integration, including Universal Analytics and GA4. The site uses standard CSS and HTML with some external dependencies on jQuery UI and CDN-hosted scripts. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident. Accessibility and mobile optimization are basic, suggesting technical debt and modernization opportunities. Technical risks include potential vulnerabilities from outdated libraries and lack of security headers.
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.
