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

Biedrība “Sabiedrība par atklātību – Delna” is a Latvian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting transparency and combating corruption. Established in 1998 as the Latvian chapter of Transparency International, Delna operates primarily in Latvia with a focus on public sector and civil society engagement. The organization offers services including advocacy, public awareness campaigns, whistleblowing support, and educational initiatives. Their market position is that of a recognized NGO with international ties, targeting government, NGOs, and the general public. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA v3, and Mailchimp integration for newsletters. The site is mobile-optimized and provides multilingual support. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility basics in place. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA on forms. However, explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. The site includes a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicating GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, slightly reducing trust score. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and maintaining up-to-date CMS and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

  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
  • 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

Delna holds a strong position in the Latvian anti-corruption NGO sector, leveraging its affiliation with Transparency International to enhance credibility and influence. Its business model relies on donations, grants, and memberships, with clear calls for support and transparency in finances. The organization targets public institutions, NGOs, and citizens interested in governance and transparency. Growth indicators include active event hosting, publications, and regional outreach. Partnerships with international and local organizations strengthen its ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a mature NGO with a clear mission and stable operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented on forms to prevent abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages are found, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could benefit from enhanced headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Maintain and audit privacy compliance measures, ensuring cookie consent and data protection practices remain up to date.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing common plugins and integrations such as Mailchimp for newsletters, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. The site loads multiple optimized CSS and JS assets, indicating caching and optimization efforts. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, and icons from Font Awesome. The site is multilingual with Latvian, English, and Russian versions. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and further accessibility improvements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content.
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.
