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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. 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"

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

TVNET holds a strong market position as a primary news source in Latvia, leveraging a mixed revenue model of advertising and subscriptions. Its partnership ecosystem includes language-specific subdomains and related media sites, enhancing content reach. The company maintains clear contact channels and transparent policies, supporting user trust and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include active social media presence and integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools. The business model focuses on content quality and user engagement, with strategic use of technology to optimize monetization and audience insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and use of bot protection mechanisms like ReCaptcha. Security headers are present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The site complies with GDPR requirements through a consent management platform and stores user preferences appropriately. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for media websites.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and advertising technologies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance user education on privacy and security through visible notices or help sections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a robust technical infrastructure with a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services for analytics, advertising, and user engagement. The presence of Google Tag Manager, Chartbeat, Gemius, Piano subscription platform, and Cxense personalization indicates a sophisticated digital maturity. The site is optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO and accessibility features. Hosting by Hetzner Online suggests reliable infrastructure.

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.
