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

Daugavpils valstspilsētas pašvaldības iestāde "Sociālais dienests" is a municipal social service institution serving the city of Daugavpils, Latvia. The organization provides social services and assistance to local residents, focusing on community welfare and support. The website reflects a government entity with official branding and content tailored to its target audience of local citizens seeking social aid and information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder and Font Awesome icon library. It employs HTTPS for secure communication but lacks advanced security headers. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic SEO and accessibility features. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS but could improve by implementing security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification, but the domain and content strongly suggest a legitimate municipal institution. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with room for security and privacy enhancements.

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

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 institution operates as a government-funded social service provider within the public sector, focusing on social welfare in Daugavpils. Its market position is that of a local municipal service provider, with key services including social assistance, client support, and community engagement. The business model relies on public funding and serves residents primarily. The website content and social media presence indicate active community involvement and transparency. There are no indications of commercial revenue streams or partnerships beyond government affiliations. Growth indicators include active news updates and community event postings. The partnership ecosystem is limited to government and local entities, with no commercial partners identified. Strategic observations suggest a focus on service delivery and public communication rather than commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted data transmission. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses standard WordPress and Elementor components, which require regular updates to mitigate known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to demonstrate preparedness and build trust.
  4. Ensure regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding contact phone numbers and more detailed business information to improve credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Font Awesome for icons. The HTML is valid and includes responsive design elements, ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or analytics detected, which benefits load times. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured navigation but could be enhanced with additional metadata and schema. No advanced hosting or CDN information is available from the HTML. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but provides basic support. Technical debt appears low, but security and privacy features require improvement to meet modern standards.
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.
