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

visitdobele.lv is a regional tourism information website dedicated to promoting the Dobele region in Latvia. It provides comprehensive information about local attractions, events, accommodations, dining options, and useful visitor information. The site targets tourists and visitors interested in exploring Dobele and surrounding areas, positioning itself as an official regional tourism resource with strong local ties and social media presence. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility and SEO features. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates some level of privacy compliance, though no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from the URL), but no detailed security headers or policies were detected. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, but the website shows no suspicious indicators and includes official contact information for the regional tourism centers. Overall, the website is a credible and useful resource for regional tourism promotion, with room for improvement in security posture, privacy documentation, and technical optimization. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing clear privacy and security policies, and improving SEO and accessibility compliance.

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

13 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 serves as a digital platform for Dobele's regional tourism office, providing curated content about local cultural, historical, and natural attractions. Its business model revolves around information dissemination and promotion of local tourism services, supporting local businesses and events. The site leverages partnerships with local government and tourism organizations, as evidenced by linked domains and official contact details. The presence of social media channels indicates active engagement with the community and visitors. Growth potential lies in expanding digital marketing efforts and improving user experience to attract more visitors to the region.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but lacks several best practices. While HTTPS is presumably enforced, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but is common for such sites. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. To improve, the site should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security and incident response policies, and consider a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Optimize website performance and accessibility to improve user experience and SEO rankings.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies and includes external resources such as Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager. The HTML structure is well-formed with clear navigation menus and content sections. The site includes a cookie consent banner indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No broken links or errors were observed in the provided HTML 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.
