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

Latvijas Vieglatlētikas savienība is the official Latvian Athletics Association, serving as the national governing body for athletics in Latvia. The website provides comprehensive information including news, event calendars, athlete statistics, and organizational details, targeting athletes, coaches, and sports enthusiasts within Latvia. It holds official memberships with World Athletics and European Athletics, reinforcing its authoritative position in the athletics sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, FontAwesome, jQuery, and integrates social media feeds via Elfsight. It features a responsive design with good mobile optimization and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience. The site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and includes cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including anonymized Google Analytics tracking and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and a public security policy or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits domain registration analysis, but the site’s trust indicators and official partner affiliations support its legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, suitable for its role as a national sports federation portal. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency around security policies could further enhance its security posture and user trust.

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

5 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

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 Latvian Athletics Association operates as a non-profit sports federation focused on athletics promotion and governance in Latvia. Its business model centers on providing information services, event organization, athlete data management, and community engagement. The association benefits from partnerships with national and international sports bodies and commercial sponsors, indicating a stable ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence aimed at athletes, coaches, and sports organizations, supporting growth and visibility in the athletics domain. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, event fees, and government or sports grants. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including recognized sports brands and governmental institutions, enhancing credibility and operational support.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent with opt-in, and anonymized analytics tracking. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could limit transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is solid for a sports federation website but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and publishing vulnerability disclosure information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response information, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts for typography, FontAwesome for icons, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Fancybox for media display. It integrates third-party widgets such as Elfsight Instagram feed for social media content. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in loading third-party scripts. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
