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

Baltic Human Rights Society (BHRS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting human rights awareness and education in Latvia and the broader Baltic region. The organization focuses on fostering a culture of human rights through educational initiatives, advocacy, and collaborative projects with regional and international partners. The website reflects a well-structured platform aimed at human rights educators, activists, NGOs, and the general public interested in human rights issues. BHRS maintains partnerships with reputable European and Baltic institutions, enhancing its credibility and regional influence. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including jQuery and SVG4Everybody for compatibility and user experience enhancements. It features a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles, although no advanced security headers or analytics services are detected. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, though SEO and accessibility could be improved. The WHOIS data is unavailable or restricted, which limits domain trust verification but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the content and partner affiliations. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from canonical URLs and modern standards) and implements cookie consent with opt-in, indicating privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site presents a moderate security maturity level appropriate for a non-profit educational organization. The overall risk assessment is low, with the primary concern being the lack of WHOIS transparency and limited security policy disclosures. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security and privacy policies, and providing clear contact information for incident response. These steps would improve trust and compliance, supporting BHRS's mission and stakeholder confidence.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

BHRS occupies a niche position as a regional leader in human rights education within the Baltic states. Its competitive advantage lies in strong partnerships with EU programs, government agencies, and international organizations such as UNESCO. The business model is non-profit, relying on grants, partnerships, and donations, as evidenced by the prominent 'Ziedot' (Donate) call to action. The target customer segments include educators, NGOs, policymakers, and the general public interested in human rights. Growth indicators include active project updates and international collaborations. The partnership ecosystem is broad and reputable, enhancing operational capacity and outreach. The organization's operations appear stable but would benefit from increased transparency and enhanced digital security measures.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism with opt-in, demonstrating baseline privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web threats. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but could be strengthened with more comprehensive privacy and security documentation. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional for a non-profit organization. Enhancements in security policies, headers, and incident response would elevate the posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish detailed security and privacy policies, including incident response procedures and contact information.
  3. Ensure WHOIS data transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to improve domain trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including jQuery and SVG4Everybody for SVG compatibility. It uses a cookie consent library (CookieConsent2) to manage user privacy preferences. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. No CMS or hosting provider information is detectable from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with no obvious heavy scripts or resources. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The technical debt appears low, though improvements in security headers and analytics integration could modernize the infrastructure and enhance user trust.
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.
