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.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

Latvijas valsts meži operates as a government-controlled organization managing Latvia's mineral resources. Its market position is strong as a leader in resource extraction and supply, with a business model focused on sustainable resource management and service provision. Revenue streams likely include mineral material sales, laboratory testing fees, and leasing income. The target customers are primarily businesses in construction and environmental sectors, as well as government stakeholders. The website content and map features indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem with named sales specialists. Growth indicators include ongoing updates and active news sections. The organization maintains a professional online presence consistent with government standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and a cookie consent mechanism is implemented, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected in the provided data. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could benefit from enhanced security policies and headers to strengthen protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards for inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide a dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security contact channel to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses Matomo analytics for tracking, indicating a preference for open-source and privacy-respecting tools. The site is mobile-optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in SEO and accessibility. No hosting provider details were found, and no advanced frameworks beyond Joomla were detected. The site uses external fonts from Google Fonts and loads analytics from a dedicated subdomain. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could be modernized with enhanced 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.
