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

The website valdemarpils.lv serves as a simple redirect landing page for the municipal government of Valdemārpils city and surrounding parishes in Latvia. It informs visitors that the official online presence has moved to a new domain (talsunovads.lv) and automatically redirects users after a short delay. The site content is minimal, focusing solely on this redirection without additional business or service information. The market position is that of a local government entity maintaining an online presence for its residents and stakeholders. From a technical perspective, the site uses basic HTML5 and CSS3 with embedded SVG graphics for branding. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks, and no analytics or tracking scripts are present. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. Performance is moderate given the minimal content. No security headers or HTTPS status information is available from the provided data, limiting the security posture assessment. Security-wise, the site lacks visible security best practices such as HTTPS enforcement, security headers, or privacy and cookie policies. No forms or data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts domain legitimacy verification, but the content and domain naming suggest a legitimate government entity. Overall, the security posture is minimal and would benefit from improvements in HTTPS deployment, security headers, and privacy compliance. The overall risk is low given the limited functionality and content, but the lack of security and privacy policies and absence of contact information reduce trust and compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear contact and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 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"

    • 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Valdemarpils.lv represents a local government web presence for Valdemārpils city and nearby parishes in Latvia. The business model is informational and administrative, serving residents and stakeholders with municipal updates and services. The domain redirects to a newer official site, indicating a transition or consolidation of digital assets. The target audience is local citizens and government stakeholders. There is no evidence of revenue streams or commercial activity. The site lacks advanced digital marketing or analytics tools, suggesting a focus on basic public service rather than commercial growth. Partnerships appear limited to related municipal domains. The business operates in the government sector with a small organizational size and limited online footprint.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of valdemarpils.lv is low due to minimal security controls visible in the provided data. The site lacks HTTPS confirmation, security headers, privacy policies, and contact information for incident response. No forms or user input fields reduce exposure to common web vulnerabilities. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is not demonstrable on this page. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or security certifications. The security culture appears minimal, likely due to the site's limited scope as a redirect page. Enhancing HTTPS, security headers, and privacy compliance would significantly improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML5 and CSS3, including embedded SVG for logo graphics. There is no evidence of a CMS or JavaScript frameworks. The site is minimalistic, serving primarily as a redirect page with static content. Performance is expected to be moderate given the simplicity. Mobile responsiveness is basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags but no Open Graph or structured data. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating low data collection. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not available. The site would benefit from modernization including HTTPS enforcement, enhanced SEO metadata, and accessibility improvements.
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.
