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

The website 'Šķiro viegli' is an official Latvian governmental platform managed by the Valsts vides dienests (State Environmental Service) under the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development. It serves as a public information portal to promote and facilitate waste sorting and recycling by providing an interactive map of waste collection points, detailed information on waste types accepted, and operator guidelines. The platform targets Latvian residents and waste management operators, aiming to increase environmental awareness and participation in sustainable waste management practices. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Leaflet.js for interactive mapping. It integrates Google Translate for multilingual support and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with basic accessibility features implemented. However, there is room for improvement in SEO and accessibility compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which are important for GDPR compliance. The absence of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance. The site is not blocked by any WAF or security challenge, allowing full content access. Overall, the website is a credible and trustworthy governmental resource with good content quality and user experience. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and accessibility would enhance its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

  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 platform occupies a strong position as an official governmental environmental service in Latvia, supported by multiple government and EU partners. Its business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and environmental sustainability. The key competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive waste sorting information, and interactive mapping tools. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. The target customers are Latvian households and waste operators. Growth indicators include expanding public waste sorting points and ongoing updates. The partnership ecosystem includes the Ministry of Environmental Protection, State Environmental Service, EU LIFE program, and other environmental funds and initiatives. The website reflects a well-coordinated governmental effort to promote circular economy principles and waste resource management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms collecting personal data are present, minimizing attack surface. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Google Translate introduces potential risks if not regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Establish and publish incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure procedures to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards beyond basic compliance, improving usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a solid technical foundation with Bootstrap for responsive design and Leaflet.js for interactive maps, providing a good user experience across devices. The integration of Google Translate expands accessibility to non-Latvian speakers. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating some level of user behavior tracking. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and SEO metadata. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility optimizations but maintains a clean and functional interface suitable for its public service role.
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.
