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

SIA Tele2 is the leading mobile telecommunications operator in Latvia, offering a wide range of services including mobile telephony, mobile and home internet, TV services via Go3, and device sales with insurance options. The company targets both private consumers and businesses, positioning itself as a major player in the Latvian telecom market. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site uses established technologies such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and Cookiebot for cookie management, alongside Google Tag Manager and Google Optimize for analytics and optimization. However, the site suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of enabled TLS protocols, which significantly impacts its security posture. Email authentication is well implemented with SPF and DMARC policies, enhancing email security. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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
  • 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

Tele2 operates primarily in the telecommunications sector in Latvia, serving a large customer base with mobile and fixed internet, TV, and device sales. The business model combines service subscriptions with hardware sales and value-added services like insurance. The company leverages partnerships, such as with Zelta Zivtiņa for senior tariffs, and integrates multiple advertising and analytics platforms to optimize marketing efforts. The presence of lead capture forms indicates a focus on customer acquisition and engagement. Tele2's market position as the largest mobile operator in Latvia suggests strong competitive advantages, including network coverage and brand recognition. The website's content and structure support a broad target audience, including private users, students, seniors, and businesses.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate but with critical gaps. While email security is strong due to valid SPF and DMARC configurations, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols expose the site to significant risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The site does implement HSTS, which is a positive security control, but without HTTPS, this is ineffective. No major vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, and no WAF or security challenge blocks access. The cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, malformed CAA DNS records indicate misconfiguration that could allow unauthorized certificate issuance. Overall, the site needs immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues to improve security and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols.
  3. Correct the CAA DNS records to properly restrict certificate authorities authorized to issue certificates.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of legacy and modern web technologies, including jQuery 1.12.4 and Swiper.js for UI components, Cookiebot for cookie management, and Google Tag Manager and Optimize for analytics and A/B testing. The site is hosted on an IP address associated with Tele2 or its provider. Performance is suboptimal with a load time of approximately 9.3 seconds and a large page size (~589 KB). Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and language translation widgets. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured data in JSON-LD format describing the organization. The absence of a CMS or framework is not explicitly detected. The site includes multiple lead capture forms with consent statements, indicating data collection practices aligned with privacy regulations.
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.
