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

The website www.tiesas.lv is the official portal of the Latvian Courts Administration, providing comprehensive information about the judiciary system, courts, judges, legal proceedings, and related public services. It serves as a key resource for Latvian citizens, legal professionals, and other stakeholders seeking authoritative legal and administrative information. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and optimized for accessibility and mobile use, reflecting a mature digital presence for a government entity. Technically, the site is built on the Drupal CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery. It employs Google Analytics for visitor insights and implements standard security headers and HTTPS encryption, ensuring a secure browsing experience. Accessibility features and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, although the privacy policy page is not clearly linked or found, which is a notable compliance gap. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates good practices such as enforcing HTTPS, using security headers, and avoiding exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information, which could enhance trust and preparedness. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy as a Latvian government entity, with consistent registration details and no privacy protection masking. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and serves its public function effectively. To improve, it should publish clear privacy and terms of service policies, along with security and incident response documentation, to strengthen compliance and user 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.

Priority findings

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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 Latvian Courts Administration operates as a government entity responsible for managing and providing information about the national judiciary system. Its market position is authoritative and essential within the public sector, targeting citizens, legal professionals, and governmental bodies. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on transparency, accessibility, and legal information dissemination. Key services include court listings, judge directories, legal aid information, e-services for court processes, and updates on legal news and vacancies. The website integrates with partner government portals and legal databases, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include digitalization efforts and accessibility improvements. The partnership ecosystem includes related government agencies such as the Ministry of Justice and land registry services.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of cookie consent mechanisms align with privacy best practices. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy policy documentation. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content or technical setup. The security culture appears cautious but could benefit from enhanced communication and formalized security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive and easily accessible privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add terms of service documentation outlining user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly detailing data collection, retention, and user rights related to analytics and cookies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for government websites. It uses modern front-end frameworks like Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactive elements. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking, with cookie consent implemented to manage user privacy. The site demonstrates good accessibility features, including font size adjustments and contrast settings. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and lazy loading of images. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta viewport tags. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting details are not explicitly stated but the presence of security headers and HTTPS indicates a professionally managed environment.
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.
