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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 website targets local residents and stakeholders of Viļānu municipality, offering a centralized platform for municipal governance, public services, and community news. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, typical for government entities. The site maintains partnerships with various Latvian governmental and regional organizations, enhancing its ecosystem. The presence of official registration numbers and VAT codes adds to its credibility. The platform's growth indicators include regular news updates and community engagement features. The lack of commercial advertising or tracking tools aligns with its public service mission. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong digital governance and expanding online service offerings could further enhance community value.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which is common for smaller government sites but could be enhanced for transparency. Data protection practices appear adequate with a privacy policy and minimal tracking. The site does not expose sensitive information or use vulnerable libraries. Overall, the security risk is low, but implementing additional headers and formal incident response contacts would strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add explicit anti-CSRF tokens and validation on all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and CMS components to patch known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap framework, and FontAwesome icons. It is powered by the KPanel CMS, which is specialized for municipal and governmental websites. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or heavy resources. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious setup. The technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from enhanced security headers 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.
