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

VIA Latvia operates as a unifying information portal for the Latvian transport and logistics industry, providing comprehensive sector information, contact details, and industry news. The website targets professionals and stakeholders in the transport sector, positioning itself as a key resource for Latvian transport modes including ports, railways, road transport, aviation, and logistics. The platform also supports multilingual access and participates in international expos, enhancing its industry presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and several plugins such as Jet Elements and Cherry Framework. It employs modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery, Swiper, and Slider Pro for interactive elements. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features could be improved. SEO is basic but present with meta tags and structured navigation. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, no advanced security headers or explicit security policies are detected. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy and cookie policy present but no explicit GDPR compliance statements or data protection officer contact. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with a solid business credibility score. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding terms of service and incident response policies, improving accessibility, and strengthening privacy compliance to align with GDPR and other regulations.

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. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

VIA Latvia serves as an essential information hub for the Latvian transport and logistics sector, aggregating data on ports, railways, road transport, aviation, logistics, and border crossing. The business model focuses on providing industry information and facilitating networking through expos and events. The website links to authoritative partners such as Latvian Railways, Freeport of Ventspils, Riga Airport, and Liepaja SEZ, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. The content and structure suggest a small-sized organization with a focused niche market. Growth indicators include active news updates and participation in international exhibitions. The platform supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility to a broader audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. A cookie consent banner is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The site uses common JavaScript libraries without known vulnerabilities in the provided content. Forms are minimal and appear secure, but no advanced input validation or anti-CSRF tokens are visible. Overall, the site is secure for general informational use but could improve in formal security governance and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website footer or dedicated pages.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liability.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and uses multiple plugins such as Jet Elements, Cherry Framework, and Contact Form 7. It incorporates JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Swiper, and Slider Pro for UI components. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs like Cloudflare and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with some optimization potential. The site is mobile responsive and uses modern CSS and JS techniques. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured navigation but could benefit from enhanced semantic markup and structured data. No hosting provider details are explicitly found in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a professional WordPress site but could be improved with performance tuning and enhanced SEO practices.
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.
