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

Gundega.lv represents the official website of the Latvian University Student Corporation Gundega, an academic and closed lifetime organization founded in 1923. The site serves as a platform to communicate the corporation's history, activities, and events primarily targeting Latvian university students and academic community members. The business model is non-profit and educational, focusing on cultural and academic growth through organized events and membership activities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem supporting galleries, reviews, and social sharing, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which presents compliance and risk gaps. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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 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
      • 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"

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 organization holds a strong market position as the second oldest student corporation in Latvia with a centennial legacy. Its competitive advantage lies in its academic affiliation and cultural heritage. The business operates through event organization, membership drives, and community engagement. Revenue streams are likely limited to membership fees and donations typical for non-profit academic entities. The target customer segment is university students, particularly females, as indicated by event invitations. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular content updates. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes social media platforms for outreach. Strategic observations suggest a need for digital modernization in compliance and security to maintain trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. HTTPS is implemented, but the absence of critical security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options weakens the defense against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of GDPR indicators. Data protection practices are minimal, with no visible DPO contact or security framework adherence. The security culture appears informal, typical for small non-profit organizations, but improvements are necessary to mitigate risks and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security posture.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO by auditing and improving ARIA roles, alt tags, and metadata consistency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a WordPress CMS with a variety of plugins for enhanced functionality including photo galleries, reviews, recipes, and portfolio management. The front-end leverages jQuery and Google Fonts, with asynchronous loading of Facebook SDK for social integration. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading implemented but some images show loading errors. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. However, the site lacks advanced security configurations and detailed WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, which limits full technical trust verification.
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.
