Drošības profesionāļu asociācija is a Latvian non-profit professional association dedicated to uniting security professionals across the country. Established in 2021, it serves as the largest and sole organization representing security specialists in Latvia, offering services such as consultancy, education, and advocacy. The association actively engages in international partnerships and projects to enhance security knowledge and professional standards. The website reflects a well-structured and professional digital presence, leveraging WordPress with Elementor and optimization plugins to deliver a responsive and user-friendly experience. Social media integration and partner affiliations further strengthen its outreach and credibility. Security-wise, the site employs HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, though it lacks some advanced security headers and formalized incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies.

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

7 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

    • 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

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

The association occupies a unique position as the primary professional body for security experts in Latvia, targeting individuals and organizations within the security sector. Its business model revolves around membership, professional development, and advocacy rather than commercial sales. The presence of testimonials, partner logos from government and educational institutions, and active participation in EU-funded projects like SECUREU indicate strong collaborative networks and growth potential. The website content and structure suggest a focus on transparency and trust-building, essential for a non-profit entity. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event hosting, and consultancy services. The association's partnerships with universities and government bodies enhance its competitive advantage and market credibility.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The site does not display any known vulnerabilities or use outdated libraries. Privacy compliance gaps, especially regarding cookie consent and privacy policies, present compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Create and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and expand partnerships and trust signals on the website to reinforce business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor and Elementskit plugins, supported by jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Autoptimize is used for CSS and JS optimization, contributing to moderate performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes multilingual support via Google Translate widget. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. There is no indication of hosting provider from the HTML content. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers. No broken elements or errors were detected, indicating good technical health.
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.
