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

Saldus novada pašvaldība operates as the official municipal government website for the Saldus region in Latvia, providing comprehensive information and services to residents, businesses, and visitors. The site offers access to governance details, public services, news updates, event calendars, and contact resources, positioning itself as a central digital hub for local administration and community engagement. The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Modernizr, and Cloudflare Turnstile captcha to enhance user experience and security. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags supports SEO and social media integration. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although additional HTTP security headers could further strengthen defenses. No WHOIS data was retrievable due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, suitable for a government entity.

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • 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

The website serves as a critical communication and service platform for the Saldus municipality, targeting local residents, public service users, and tourists. Its business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and community services. The site integrates with partner governmental domains and social media channels to extend its reach and service delivery. The presence of multiple service categories and detailed navigation indicates a mature digital presence. The partnership with SEM.lv for development and hosting suggests a professional technology ecosystem. The site’s content and structure reflect a stable government entity with ongoing community engagement and transparency initiatives.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for form protection, and implements a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. However, explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly configured, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts and security policies on the website.
  4. Regularly update all plugins, themes, and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern technology stack including jQuery, Modernizr, and various WordPress plugins such as Events Manager and Contact Form 7. It uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for bot mitigation and Klaro for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with caching and asset optimization evident. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly experience but could be enhanced with improved security headers and performance tuning.
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.
