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

The American Chamber of Commerce in Latvia is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to fostering business relations between Latvia and the United States. It offers advocacy, networking, events, and member services targeting businesses and professionals interested in transatlantic commerce. The website reflects a mature organization with a consistent brand and a clear focus on its mission. Technically, the site uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, bxSlider, and Google Tag Manager, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers and explicit incident response contacts are absent. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

AmCham Latvia occupies a niche position as a key facilitator of US-Latvia business relations, leveraging membership fees and events as revenue streams. Its partnership ecosystem includes notable corporate members and premium partners, enhancing its influence and reach. The organization targets medium-sized businesses and professionals seeking advocacy and networking in the Latvian market. Growth indicators include active event scheduling and recent formation of new working groups. The business model is membership-driven with a focus on advocacy and community building.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages were found, and no contact channels for incident response are provided. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a non-profit chamber but could be improved to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional jQuery-based front-end with plugins like bxSlider and Fancybox for UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, with cookie consent implemented via CookieConsent2. The site appears to be custom-built without a common CMS. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. There is no indication of modern front-end frameworks or headless CMS usage. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the 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.
