Vilniaus politikos analizės institutas is a Lithuanian non-profit policy analysis institute focused on providing expert research, analysis, and consultations on societal and governmental issues. The organization targets policy experts, government officials, and the public interested in policy transparency and solutions. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and offers rich content including reports, event recordings, and infographics. The technical infrastructure is solid with HTTPS and SEO optimizations, though some security headers and policies are missing. Contact information and social media presence enhance credibility. However, the absence of WHOIS data limits full domain trust verification. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy image with room for improvement in privacy and security disclosures.

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.

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 · found on this site
The page loads a script from a compromised source

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.

Business context
Business profile
The institute operates in the government and non-profit sectors, providing policy research and analysis services. It maintains a small organizational size with a focus on Lithuanian and international policy issues. The business model centers on expert analysis, public events, and publications. The website demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, supporting its market position as a recognized policy think tank. Partnerships and collaborations are implied but not explicitly linked to other domains. The presence of multilingual content and event recordings indicates engagement with a broader audience.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of basic security and privacy requirements. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) were detected, and no published security or incident response policies exist. There is no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information. The site uses common WordPress plugins, which should be regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and establishing formal incident response contacts.
Recommendations
Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
Add incident response and security contact information to demonstrate readiness and improve trustworthiness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to reduce risk of vulnerabilities.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS using plugins like Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, and Guten Post Layout Pro, indicating a modern and flexible content management approach. It integrates Google Analytics for traffic analysis and Convertful for marketing engagement. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and Tableau. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No hosting provider details were identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
