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

Vidzemes lauku partnerība Brasla is a regional non-profit organization focused on promoting sustainable rural development in the Vidzeme region of Latvia. The organization supports local initiatives aimed at improving quality of life, sustainable resource use, and community engagement. The website provides comprehensive information about ongoing projects, events, and community activities, targeting local residents, NGOs, and government entities. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS developed by eCube.lv, leveraging jQuery and standard web technologies. The site is accessible, mobile-friendly, and well-structured, though some SEO and accessibility enhancements could be made. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks important security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site reflects a legitimate and active community organization with room for security and privacy improvements.

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.

Priority findings

10 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

  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

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

Brasla holds a strong position as a regional facilitator of rural development projects, particularly through the LEADER program. Its business model is non-profit and community-driven, focusing on collaboration between local governments, NGOs, and residents. The organization hosts numerous events and seminars, indicating active engagement and a broad partnership network including Latvian government ministries and rural support agencies. The website content and partner references suggest a well-established entity with a clear mission and target audience. Revenue streams likely include government and EU funding for rural development projects. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with multiple local and national stakeholders involved.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense against common web attacks like clickjacking and content injection. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The site lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, cookie consent, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Provide visible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance trust and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform by eCube.lv, using jQuery 3.4.1 and standard HTML5 and CSS. The site loads external scripts from trusted sources like code.jquery.com and platform.twitter.com. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading for emojis and asynchronous Twitter widgets. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be enhanced with Open Graph and structured data. Accessibility is basic; improvements could include ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected.
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.
