Latvieši Pasaulē is a Latvian non-profit museum and research center dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history and culture of Latvians living outside Latvia. The organization offers traveling exhibitions, publications, films, and digital projects that highlight the Latvian diaspora's contributions and experiences worldwide. The website serves as a portal for information about current and upcoming exhibitions, events, and digital resources, targeting Latvian diaspora communities, researchers, and cultural enthusiasts. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Elementor, WooCommerce, and various plugins for content management, digital exhibitions, and GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and employs cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility basics. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent and privacy policies, but lacks explicit security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration data aligns well with the website's stated mission and location, supporting its legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence for the museum, with room for improvement in security headers and explicit incident response information. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding a vulnerability disclosure page, and improving accessibility features to strengthen 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

8 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

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

Latvieši Pasaulē occupies a niche cultural and research market focused on the Latvian diaspora. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized content and digital exhibitions that engage diaspora communities globally. The business model is non-profit, relying on donations, grants, and sales of publications and merchandise. The target audience includes Latvian expatriates, cultural researchers, and heritage enthusiasts. The website indicates active engagement through events, exhibitions, and social media partnerships, suggesting a growth-oriented approach within its sector. Partnerships with cultural institutions and digital platforms enhance its outreach and impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in best practices. No security.txt or incident response contact information is provided, which limits transparency in vulnerability handling. The use of reputable WordPress plugins and absence of exposed sensitive data reduce immediate risks. Regular plugin updates and implementation of recommended security headers would improve the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security policy page to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates multiple plugins for digital exhibitions, document management, event calendars, and GDPR compliance. The tech stack includes jQuery, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Smart Slider 3 for UI components. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured Open Graph data for social media sharing. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize accessibility and security configurations to enhance user experience and compliance.
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.
