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

LATVIJAS BŪVINŽENIERU SAVIENĪBA (LBS) is a Latvian professional association focused on construction engineering. The organization provides industry news, certification procedures, and publishes the 'Būvinženieris' journal. The website serves as a hub for construction professionals and stakeholders in Latvia, offering resources, event information, and certification details. The market position is that of an established national professional body with a clear focus on the construction sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, hosted likely on Cloudways, and uses modern web technologies including WebP images and caching plugins. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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. 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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

LBS operates as a non-profit professional association serving construction engineers and related professionals in Latvia. Its business model revolves around membership services, certification, publishing, and event organization. The target audience includes construction specialists, engineers, and industry partners. The organization maintains an active social media presence and partners with industry entities such as Paroc and the Būvindustrijas lielā balva award. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, certification fees, and publication sales. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with room for improvement in compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses common WordPress security plugins, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies are present. Forms for login and registration exist but no explicit CSRF tokens or advanced protections are visible in the HTML. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response and security contact information are not provided. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, formal policies, and enhanced form protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Review and enhance form security with CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent common web attacks.
  5. Regularly monitor and update WordPress core, plugins, and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with WooCommerce 9.3.0 and Elementor 3.28.4, indicating a modern CMS and e-commerce platform. It uses caching (Breeze plugin) and WebP images for performance optimization. Hosting appears to be on Cloudways, a reputable managed hosting provider. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. SEO is supported by All in One SEO plugin. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The technical stack is standard for professional WordPress sites but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and 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.
