Risk levelHigh

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

Savvaļa is a Latvian cultural and artistic website presenting poetry, photography, and information about artist residencies and cultural events. The website targets a Latvian-speaking audience interested in arts and culture, operating likely as a small non-profit or cultural organization. The site is modest in technical sophistication, using jQuery and Google Analytics, with basic mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is limited, with no detected security headers or published privacy and cookie policies, indicating room for improvement in compliance and protection. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, but the domain appears legitimate with privacy protection likely in place. Overall, the website is functional and content-rich but lacks critical security and privacy features.

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

  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
      • 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 website serves a niche cultural segment in Latvia, focusing on artistic expression and community engagement through residencies and open calls. It does not appear to be commercial or revenue-driven, with no visible e-commerce or monetization features. The absence of contact details and formal policies suggests a small-scale operation. The presence of social media links in comments indicates potential outreach channels, though not actively linked. The organization likely relies on community and cultural funding or support. Growth opportunities include enhancing digital presence, formalizing privacy and security policies, and improving user engagement through clearer contact and support channels.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is low to moderate. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security are detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There are no visible forms or inputs, reducing attack surface, but also no published incident response or security policies. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible privacy compliance mechanisms. The lack of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails or phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.
  5. Establish and publish a security incident response policy and contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack primarily based on jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for viewport and description, but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. No CMS or hosting provider information is detectable. Performance is moderate with multiple images loaded on the homepage. Mobile optimization is basic with a responsive viewport meta tag and a mobile navigation menu. Accessibility features are minimal. SEO optimization is basic, with a descriptive title and meta description but no advanced SEO markup. The site would benefit from modernizing its tech stack, improving accessibility, and enhancing SEO with structured data.
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.
