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

Spāņu kultūras centrs Séneca is a small private educational institution in Latvia specializing in Spanish language courses and cultural activities. The center offers a variety of courses including regular, intensive, private lessons, and courses in Spain, complemented by cultural events, a library, and video resources. The website is well-structured, with clear navigation and good content quality, targeting Latvian residents interested in Spanish language and culture. Technically, the site uses Mozello CMS, is hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and employs several JavaScript libraries including jQuery and fancybox. While HTTPS is properly implemented, the site lacks security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating areas for compliance improvement. Social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube supports business credibility. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy but could enhance privacy compliance and security posture.

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

    • 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 center occupies a niche market in Latvia focused on Spanish language education and cultural promotion. Its business model combines paid language courses with free cultural activities for members, fostering community engagement. The presence of native Spanish teachers and courses in Spain adds competitive advantage. The organization targets language learners and cultural enthusiasts, leveraging social media for outreach. Lack of detailed WHOIS data limits domain age and ownership insights, but the consistent branding and contact information suggest a legitimate operation. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and formalizing compliance policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The use of somewhat outdated JavaScript libraries may pose risks if not regularly updated. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the organization to regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, security practices are basic but can be significantly improved with policy additions and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Update JavaScript libraries to latest stable versions and conduct regular security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Mozello CMS and hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring reliable delivery and moderate performance. The technology stack includes jQuery 2.2.4 and fancybox3 for UI components. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. SEO is supported by meta description and canonical tags. However, the site lacks modern security headers and uses older JavaScript versions, which could be modernized. No forms were detected, indicating limited data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
