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

Latvijas Amatniecības kamera (LAK) is a Latvian craft chamber organization dedicated to supporting and certifying craftsmen and apprentices across various trades. Established originally in 1988 and reestablished in 1993, LAK provides registries, organizes qualification exams, conferences, and promotes Latvian craft traditions. The website serves as an informational portal for members, educational institutions, and the public, offering news, event information, and access to registries. The organization operates primarily as a non-profit entity focused on craft education and certification within Latvia. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 2.2.4 and Google Analytics ga.js for tracking. The site is accessible over HTTPS, though no advanced security headers are detected. The design is basic but functional, with moderate navigation clarity and content relevance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, indicating room for improvement in user experience and technical modernization. From a security perspective, the site lacks explicit security headers and privacy/cookie policies, which impacts its compliance posture. No forms or sensitive data collection points are present, reducing immediate risk. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust analysis. Overall, the site appears legitimate and consistent with a Latvian craft chamber organization but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices. The overall risk is moderate with recommendations to improve security headers, update technology stack, and implement privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.

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

9 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

  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

      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

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

LAK holds a niche position as a national craft chamber in Latvia, serving craftsmen, apprentices, and educational institutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its historical legacy, official registries, and role in certification and education. The business model is non-profit, focusing on member services, qualification exams, and cultural promotion. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, certification fees, and sales of craft-related publications. The target customer segments include individual craftsmen, craft organizations, and vocational schools. Partnerships with technical schools and craft organizations strengthen its ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing events, qualification programs, and active registries. The organization maintains a moderate market presence within Latvia's craft sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS are present. No forms or inputs reduce attack surface, but the use of outdated JavaScript libraries could pose vulnerabilities. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The organization should enhance security controls, implement privacy compliance measures, and regularly update technology to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen site security.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to current supported versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy jQuery 2.2.4 and Google Analytics ga.js for tracking, indicating an older technology stack. The site is built with static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without a detected CMS. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques observed. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are basic, suggesting potential technical debt. No modern frameworks or platforms are detected. Hosting provider details are not available. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, updated libraries, and improved SEO and accessibility features.
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.
