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

Viļānu apvienība operates as a local government authority serving the Viļānu municipality in Latvia. The website functions as an informational portal providing residents and stakeholders with access to municipal news, official documents, public services, and community engagement opportunities. The site includes detailed navigation for various municipal departments, services, and local institutions, reflecting a comprehensive approach to local governance communication. Subsidiary companies related to municipal services are also listed, indicating a structured local government ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on the KPanel CMS platform with Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring accessibility across devices. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, and the content is well-structured with appropriate meta tags and social media integration. However, some security best practices such as security headers and CAPTCHA on contact forms are missing, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web threats. From a security and compliance perspective, the website demonstrates a good baseline with privacy and cookie policies present and GDPR compliance indicators. The contact information is transparent and includes multiple channels, supporting trust and accountability. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts full domain legitimacy verification, but the overall presentation and content strongly support the site's authenticity as a government entity. Overall, the website is a well-maintained municipal portal with good content quality and user experience. Strategic improvements in security headers and form protections are recommended to strengthen its security posture and maintain public trust.

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

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

Viļānu apvienība holds a clear position as a local government entity focused on serving the Viļānu municipality. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive digital presence that consolidates municipal information, public services, and community engagement in one accessible platform. The business model is public service-oriented, funded and operated by government resources. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a governmental body, but it manages subsidiaries that provide municipal services. The target customer segments are local residents, businesses, and visitors seeking official information and services. Growth indicators include active news updates, event announcements, and project documentation. The partnership ecosystem includes national and regional government portals and agencies, enhancing service integration and information dissemination. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining transparency, security, and accessibility to uphold public trust and meet regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. Contact forms include client-side validation but lack CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms, which could expose the site to spam or abuse. No advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS are detected, representing an area for improvement. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the visible code. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could limit the site's ability to handle security incidents effectively. Overall, while the site is secure for general use, enhancing security headers and implementing bot protection would improve its resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add CAPTCHA or other anti-bot verification on contact forms to reduce spam and automated abuse.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to address known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing clearer GDPR-related information and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the KPanel CMS platform with Bootstrap framework for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. The use of FontAwesome icons and modern HTML5/CSS3 standards contributes to a professional appearance. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or tracking services detected, which benefits load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. However, the absence of advanced security headers and limited analytics integration suggests room for modernization. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from security and performance optimizations.
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.
