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

Rīgas Ziemeļvalstu ģimnāzija is a Latvian educational institution providing primary and secondary education with a focus on academic programs, extracurricular activities, and community engagement. The website serves as an information portal for students, parents, and staff, featuring news, events, and resources relevant to the school community. The institution appears to be well-established locally, serving the Riga area with a medium-sized educational offering. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML and CSS, lacking modern CMS or frameworks, and shows moderate performance and accessibility. Security posture is limited due to absence of visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers, and no cookie consent mechanism is present. Privacy policy is available and indicates GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is functional and informative but would benefit from technical and security improvements to enhance trust and user experience.

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

9 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

  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. 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
  • 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 institution operates in the education sector, targeting students and parents in Latvia. Its business model is that of a public or private gymnasium offering comprehensive education from primary to secondary levels. The website reflects active engagement through projects, events, and collaborations, indicating a community-oriented approach. The presence of external links to local transport and educational platforms suggests partnerships within the regional ecosystem. The lack of advanced digital marketing or analytics tools indicates a focus on direct community communication rather than commercial growth. The business credibility is supported by consistent content updates and official privacy documentation.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with no visible HTTPS enforcement or security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing immediate risk of input-based vulnerabilities, but also limiting interactive functionality. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement HTTPS, security headers, and privacy compliance mechanisms to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS across the entire website to secure data transmission.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML and CSS without modern frameworks or CMS, indicating a legacy or simple custom-built site. The charset is windows-1257, which is less common today and may affect compatibility. No JavaScript libraries or analytics scripts were detected, suggesting minimal tracking and simple functionality. External links point to relevant local and educational domains, supporting the institution's community focus. Performance is likely moderate given the simple structure but could be improved with modern techniques. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, which are important for inclusivity and SEO. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available, limiting full technical assessment.
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.
