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.

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 organization operates as a professional association and regulatory body within the government and non-profit sectors in Latvia. It holds a strong market position as the sole representative body for sworn advocates, providing services including professional representation, regulation, legal aid coordination, and information dissemination. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, governance, and member services. Social media channels and official contact details support outreach and stakeholder engagement. The business model is centered on professional regulation and support rather than commercial activities.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and standard security headers, enhancing protection against common web threats. The login form is secured with CAPTCHA and Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing formal security policies and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance Content-Security-Policy headers for stricter content control and mitigation of XSS risks.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9 CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap-based Radix theme and Font Awesome icons. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot mitigation on forms. The site uses conditional loading of Google Analytics scripts based on cookie consent, reflecting privacy-aware design. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization and accessibility features implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence suitable for a government-related professional association.
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.
