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

Bhakti Marga Latvia is a small non-profit spiritual organization dedicated to promoting the teachings and practices of Bhakti Yoga and devotion. The website serves as a community hub offering information about events, courses, and donation opportunities. The organization targets spiritual seekers primarily in Latvia but also supports multilingual access for broader audiences. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and integrates GiveWP for donations and Stripe for payment processing. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present, though formal security policies and incident response information are absent. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy for its niche, but lacks advanced business and security disclosures. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but no suspicious indicators are present in the content or technical setup.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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';…

  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 · found on this site
  • 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 non-profit entity within the spiritual and wellness sector, focusing on Bhakti Yoga teachings. Its business model revolves around community engagement and donation-based funding. The website reflects a niche market position with a clear target audience of spiritual practitioners and devotees. The use of multilingual content indicates an intent to reach both local and international visitors. The integration of donation plugins and payment gateways suggests a streamlined approach to fundraising. However, the lack of detailed business registration or certification information limits external validation of its operational scale. The organization appears to maintain a consistent brand identity and leverages social media channels for outreach. Growth potential may be tied to expanding event offerings and digital engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enabled and several security headers configured, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of reputable third-party services like Stripe for payments enhances transactional security. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism indicates gaps in formal security governance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is addressed through GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The security score is moderate, reflecting good technical controls but limited organizational security transparency. Enhancements in security documentation and proactive vulnerability management would strengthen the overall posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.
  4. Improve SEO by adding comprehensive meta tags, structured data, and sitemap integration.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design framework. The integration of GiveWP plugin facilitates donation management, while Stripe handles secure payment processing. External resources include Google Fonts and CDN-hosted JavaScript libraries, contributing to moderate performance. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is minimal but present. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission but offers opportunities for modernization and enhanced performance.
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.
