Technically, the site is built on Drupal 9 with modern frontend technologies and implements security features such as HTTPS and reCAPTCHA v3 on login forms.

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 holds a strong market position as the sole professional body for sworn advocates in Latvia, providing regulatory oversight, professional development, and public legal services. Its business model is that of a non-profit professional association, funded likely through membership fees and government support. The website supports transparency with published disciplinary decisions and regulatory documents. Social media presence on Facebook and Twitter indicates engagement with the community. The site’s content and structure reflect a mature organization focused on legal governance and public service. No commercial or revenue-generating activities are evident, consistent with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect login forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security configurations. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could enhance trust and preparedness. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update Drupal core and modules to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data availability or use domain privacy services transparently to improve domain legitimacy trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9 CMS, leveraging modern frontend libraries including Font Awesome 5 and Bootstrap-based Radix theme. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot protection on login forms. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager scripts are conditionally loaded based on cookie consent, demonstrating privacy-aware analytics implementation. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with external resources loaded asynchronously. The absence of detected hosting provider information and security headers suggests potential areas for infrastructure and security enhancement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence for a government-affiliated legal organization.
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.
