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

The website visitaluksne.lv serves as the official tourism information portal for the Alūksne region in Latvia, managed by the Alūksnes Tūrisma informācijas centrs. It provides comprehensive information about local attractions, events, accommodations, dining, and activities, targeting tourists and visitors interested in exploring the area. The site is multilingual, supporting Latvian, English, and Estonian, enhancing accessibility for a broader audience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Themify Ultra theme and incorporates various plugins for multilingual support, accessibility, weather forecasts, and cookie consent management. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms and accessibility tools, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed privacy or security policies. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site presents a professional and user-friendly experience with good content quality and technical implementation but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

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

Visitaluksne.lv operates as a small regional tourism information center, focusing on promoting the Alūksne area as a travel destination. Its business model revolves around providing informational content and event promotion to attract visitors. The site leverages social media channels like Facebook and Instagram to engage with its audience. The multilingual approach and structured content indicate an intent to serve both local and international tourists. The absence of direct commercial transactions or e-commerce features suggests a non-profit or government-affiliated entity. The site’s partnerships appear limited to social media platforms and possibly local tourism stakeholders. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and enhancing user engagement through richer content and interactive features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements, and accessibility features indicate attention to user inclusivity. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit privacy policy or incident response information is provided, which are critical for compliance and trust. The use of third-party analytics and plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. No visible signs of malware, phishing, or other critical security issues were detected. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels for security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with a modern theme (Themify Ultra) and several plugins enhancing functionality such as multilingual support (WPML), accessibility (Pojo Accessibility), and cookie management (Cookie Law Info). The use of jQuery and Swiper.js indicates reliance on established JavaScript libraries for UI components. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility tools, reflecting good technical implementation. Performance is moderate, with some preloading and prefetching optimizations. However, the lack of advanced security headers and incomplete privacy documentation suggest areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the content.
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.
