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

Šiaulių regiono atliekų tvarkymo centras (ŠRATC) is a regional government-affiliated entity focused on waste management services in the Šiauliai region of Lithuania. The organization provides comprehensive waste sorting education, collection, disposal, and composting services, targeting both residents and businesses. The website reflects a mature public service provider with a clear mission to promote environmental sustainability and circular economy principles. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Fancybox, Swiper, Select2, Google reCAPTCHA, and Bing Maps API to deliver an interactive and user-friendly experience. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content relevance. However, the CMS appears custom or proprietary, and no advanced frameworks were detected. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent and privacy policies are present and GDPR compliant. However, the absence of security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages indicates areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification, but the website content and contact information strongly suggest legitimacy. Overall, ŠRATC's website is a well-structured, professional public service portal with good privacy and security practices, serving an important environmental function in Lithuania. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and WHOIS data availability would enhance trust and compliance.

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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

ŠRATC operates as a regional government entity providing waste management services, positioning itself as a key environmental service provider in the Šiauliai region. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive service offerings, and community engagement through education and digital tools. Revenue streams likely derive from municipal funding and service fees. The target customers are local residents and businesses requiring waste disposal and recycling services. Growth indicators include active news updates, community programs, and digital self-service portals. Partnerships with technology providers (e.g., Texus) and payment platforms (mokesta.lt) support operational efficiency. The organization's market presence is stable with a focus on sustainability and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA protects user input forms against spam and bots. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public service website but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy with clear contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Seek to resolve WHOIS data availability issues to improve domain trust and legitimacy verification.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of established JavaScript libraries and APIs such as jQuery, Fancybox for modals, Swiper for sliders, Select2 for enhanced select boxes, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and Bing Maps API for interactive maps. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. The CMS appears custom-built or proprietary, with no common CMS detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in resource loading and caching. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs 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.
