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

Salaspils Mūzikas un mākslas skola is a municipal educational institution in Salaspils, Latvia, specializing in professional music and arts education programs. The website serves as an official communication channel providing information about the school, its events, and educational offerings. The institution targets local students and their families, positioning itself as a key regional provider of arts education since its founding in 1991. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Rank Math SEO, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content updates. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure; however, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms suggests room for improvement. The lack of accessible WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification, but the consistent branding, structured data, and contact information support the site's credibility. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its educational purpose effectively.

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

11 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 school operates as a small-sized public educational entity focused on music and arts within the Salaspils municipality. Its business model is non-commercial, funded likely by local government resources. The website content and event announcements demonstrate active community engagement and cultural promotion. The institution's competitive advantage lies in its specialized arts education and local government backing. Revenue streams are presumably public funding and tuition fees. The target customer segment includes children and youth in Salaspils and surrounding areas interested in music and arts education. The partnership ecosystem includes social media presence on Facebook. Growth indicators include regular event updates and active content management. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining digital presence and improving compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The contact form uses a popular WordPress plugin, which should be regularly updated to mitigate risks. There is no visible security or incident response policy published, which is a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small educational website but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and compliance.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider performing a security audit and penetration testing to identify and remediate hidden risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using PHP and JavaScript technologies, including jQuery and WPBakery Page Builder for content management and layout. SEO is enhanced by Rank Math plugin, and fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. The site uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected but could benefit from optimization. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The site does not use common analytics or tracking services, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small educational website but could be modernized for better performance and security.
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.
