Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.tnip.lv serves as the official online presence of the Education Department (Izglītības pārvalde) of Talsi Municipality in Latvia. It provides educational news, event information, regulatory documents, and contact details primarily targeting local residents, educators, and students. The site is built on WordPress with a range of plugins supporting social media integration, event calendars, and SEO optimization. The content is well-structured and relevant to its audience, though it lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and modern web technologies, but it could improve by implementing security headers and accessibility features. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the domain's ccTLD and content alignment suggest authenticity. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of content quality and technical implementation suitable for a small public sector entity.

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

    • 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 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

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 site represents a small-sized public sector entity focused on education within Talsi Municipality, Latvia. Its business model is service-oriented, providing information and administrative support to local educational stakeholders. The website's market position is that of a local government authority, with no commercial activities or revenue streams evident. The content and linked domains indicate partnerships with regional government and education bodies. The site lacks advanced marketing or analytics tools, reflecting a focus on transparency and public service rather than commercial growth. The presence of official contact details and regulatory documents enhances trust and credibility within its niche.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic but effective security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosures or security contact channels are provided, which could hinder incident management. The WordPress platform and plugins used are common and require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a public information site but with room for improvement to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to reduce risk of known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile responsiveness to improve user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.2.6 with a variety of plugins for SEO (Yoast), social media integration, event calendars, and UI enhancements. The site uses jQuery 3.6.4 and other JavaScript libraries for frontend functionality. The theme 'Asteroid' is used with custom styling. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though mobile optimization is basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site would benefit from improved security headers and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
