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

Saldus pamatskola is a Latvian municipal primary school providing foundational education services to the Saldus region. The website serves as an official communication channel offering information about educational programs, projects, achievements, and contact details for staff. The institution targets students, parents, and educators within the local community. The site is built on WordPress with modern plugins for content management, GDPR compliance, and user interaction. Technical infrastructure includes Google Analytics for visitor insights and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers are not visibly configured. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the site content and structure align with a legitimate educational entity. Overall, the website is professional, accessible, and compliant with privacy regulations, supporting the school's mission 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

9 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 public educational institution under local government authority, focusing on primary education and extracurricular STEM and cultural activities. Its business model is service-oriented, funded by municipal resources, and aimed at community educational development. The website reflects a stable market position within the education sector of Latvia, with active engagement in projects like Erasmus+ and local initiatives. The presence of detailed contact information and project descriptions indicates transparency and community involvement. The digital presence supports communication and information dissemination rather than commercial transactions. Growth indicators include ongoing project participation and digital content updates. Partnerships with educational platforms like e-klase.lv and social media presence on Facebook enhance outreach and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent management via the Complianz plugin indicates GDPR awareness and compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening defenses against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, which could hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. Regular updates and security audits are recommended to maintain and enhance security posture. Overall, the site is secure enough for its informational purpose but could benefit from enhanced security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channel to improve security transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Bridge theme and WPBakery Page Builder plugin, indicating a mature and widely supported platform. It leverages jQuery and Google Fonts for UI enhancements and styling. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA is used for form protection. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its domain and trusted external sources, suggesting a standard modern web architecture. Performance is moderate with some large images used in sliders and content. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, supported by responsive design and localized date pickers. SEO is addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of advanced security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content.
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.
