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

FAVORO is a small, well-established non-profit charitable organization based in Daugavpils, Latvia, focused on providing targeted assistance to children and families in difficult life situations. The organization operates through donations, volunteer efforts, and partnerships, offering services such as clothing collection, children's events, and social projects. The website is primarily in Russian and targets local beneficiaries and donors. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with common plugins and demonstrates good content quality and user experience, though some security enhancements are recommended.

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

10 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

FAVORO occupies a niche in the local charitable sector, leveraging community engagement and partnerships to deliver social aid. Its competitive advantage lies in its established presence since 2011 and transparent communication through reports and social media. The business model relies on donations and volunteerism, targeting families and children in need within the Daugavpils region. Partnerships with local organizations enhance its outreach and credibility. Growth indicators include active social media and ongoing projects. The organization maintains a consistent brand and trust signals such as published reports and Creative Commons licensing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communication, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options presents potential risks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder timely security issue management. The site uses standard WordPress plugins, which require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms despite GDPR applicability. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be improved with recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Maintain up-to-date WordPress core and plugins to reduce vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.4.16 with jQuery 1.12.4 and uses plugins like YouTube Embed Plus and Mistape for enhanced functionality. The hosting provider is Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The site uses external resources from Google Fonts and Yandex Metrika for analytics. There is room for improvement in security headers and DNS configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
