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

Rīgas Ukraiņu vidusskola is a small, community-driven Ukrainian secondary school based in Riga, Latvia, serving primarily the Ukrainian diaspora in Latvia and neighboring Baltic countries. The institution focuses on providing preschool through secondary education with an emphasis on Ukrainian language and culture, alongside community and charitable activities supporting Ukraine. The website reflects a non-profit educational entity not funded by local or state government, targeting Ukrainian families and students in the region. Technically, the website is built using outdated HTML standards with embedded CSS and lacks modern web technologies or frameworks. It shows limited mobile optimization and accessibility features, with no detected CMS or advanced platform usage. The site does not employ analytics or advertising technologies, indicating a minimal digital footprint and low tracking. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers, uses deprecated HTML elements, and does not provide privacy or cookie policies. No forms or user input mechanisms were detected, reducing attack surface but also limiting interactivity. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts domain legitimacy verification, but no suspicious indicators were found on the site itself. Overall, the website is functional for its community purpose but requires modernization and improved security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and user experience. Strategic improvements in HTTPS deployment, security headers, privacy policies, and mobile responsiveness are recommended to align with current best practices.

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. 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. 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

  3. 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

The school occupies a niche educational market serving the Ukrainian diaspora in Latvia and the Baltic region. Its non-profit model relies on community initiatives rather than government funding. The website content emphasizes cultural preservation, education, and solidarity with Ukraine, including charitable campaigns. The institution's competitive advantage lies in its cultural and linguistic focus tailored to Ukrainian families. The lack of commercial activities or monetization suggests limited revenue streams, primarily from community support. Partnerships appear informal, with external links to Ukrainian media and government sources. Growth indicators are not explicit, but ongoing charitable and cultural events suggest active community engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is low. The absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers exposes users to potential risks such as data interception and clickjacking. No privacy or cookie policies indicate non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The lack of forms reduces attack vectors but also limits user engagement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site does not use modern security frameworks or certifications. Overall, the security posture is minimal and requires significant improvements to protect user data and comply with legal requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with HSTS to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  3. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Modernize website codebase to remove deprecated HTML elements and improve mobile responsiveness.
  5. Establish incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures to enhance security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on legacy HTML 4.0 with embedded CSS and minimal scripting. It lacks modern frameworks, CMS, or responsive design, resulting in poor mobile and accessibility performance. No analytics or tracking technologies are present, indicating a privacy-conscious or minimalistic approach. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not discernible from the content. The site would benefit from modernization using contemporary web standards, improved SEO metadata, and enhanced user experience features. Technical debt is evident, posing risks for maintainability and security.
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.
