Risk levelHigh

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

Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas Atbalsta biedrība is a Latvian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the National Library of Latvia through cultural projects, donations, and partnerships. The website serves as an informational and engagement platform targeting Latvian citizens and cultural supporters. The organization maintains a network of partners including governmental and cultural institutions, enhancing its credibility and outreach. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with common modules and libraries such as jQuery and Colorbox. It uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking but lacks modern privacy compliance features such as cookie consent banners or detailed privacy policies. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and formal security policies, which could be improved to enhance protection and trust. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy, and professionally presented but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security compliance measures to align with modern standards and regulations.

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

11 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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

  4. 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

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

The organization operates as a small non-profit entity focused on cultural support and library advocacy within Latvia. Its business model relies on donations and partnerships with governmental and cultural institutions. The website reflects a stable market position with a clear target audience of Latvian cultural supporters and donors. The presence of partner logos and external links indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The lack of commercial activities or e-commerce features aligns with its non-profit nature. Growth indicators are not explicit but the continuation of projects and events suggests ongoing activity and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces its defense-in-depth. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts indicates limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the organization to regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but improvements are recommended to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and contributed modules to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature but aging CMS platform, using standard contributed modules for slideshows, colorbox, and Google Analytics integration. The front-end uses jQuery and CSS stylesheets with conditional loading for IE browsers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. Accessibility is basic with skip links but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta viewport and page titles but lacks structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not explicit from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
