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

8 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

Spoki.lv operates as an advertising-supported media portal with user-generated and editorial content. Its competitive advantage lies in high content volume and engagement through interactive tests and social features. The business model relies on ad revenues from Google Ad Manager and InMobi, supported by extensive tracking and analytics. The parent company TVNET Grupa provides corporate backing and brand recognition. The site targets Latvian-speaking users interested in entertainment and educational content, with a medium-sized audience base. Partnerships with related domains like speles.spoki.lv enhance content diversity. Growth potential exists through content expansion and improved monetization strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. GDPR compliance is supported by a consent management platform and cookie policy. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Third-party scripts are numerous, increasing the attack surface and necessitating regular audits. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and security researchers.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize risks from external code.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Google Tag Manager. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Advertising is managed through Google Ad Manager and InMobi, with multiple ad slots and lazy loading for performance optimization. Analytics are comprehensive, leveraging Gemius, Quantcast, Piano Analytics, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a mature data collection strategy. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and lazy loading of images. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security header implementation is lacking.
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.
