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

Latvijas Kūdras asociācija is a Latvian peat industry association founded in 1996, representing peat producers, related businesses, and researchers. The website serves as an informational platform to promote sustainable peat resource use, industry development, and member interests. The site is primarily in Latvian with an English language option, and it includes sections on association activities, events, members, peat information, and statistics. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, FontAwesome, and cookie consent scripts. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and accessibility but lacks advanced SEO and security headers. Security posture is basic with cookie consent implemented but no visible HTTPS or security headers confirmed from the data provided. No WHOIS data was available due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website is functional and professional for a small industry association but could improve security and transparency.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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 association occupies a niche position as the main peat industry representative in Latvia, focusing on sustainable resource management and industry advocacy. Its business model is membership-based, providing certification, information dissemination, and event organization. The website indicates EU funding support and partnerships with governmental agencies, enhancing credibility. The target audience includes peat producers, environmental researchers, and policy stakeholders. The association's growth is supported by active project participation and public communication. However, the lack of visible contact details and limited digital marketing tools suggest room for improved stakeholder engagement and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with implementation of cookie consent indicating GDPR awareness. However, absence of visible HTTPS confirmation, security headers, and incident response contacts are notable gaps. No forms or input fields reduce attack surface but also limit user interaction. The use of third-party analytics introduces moderate user tracking. Lack of vulnerability disclosures or security policies reduces transparency. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, suitable for an informational site but requiring enhancements to protect user data and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and security policies including incident response and data protection officer contact information.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 2.1.4, Google Analytics, FontAwesome, and cookie consent scripts. It loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses Magnific Popup for UI elements. The site structure is HTML5 with CSS for styling and some JavaScript for interactivity. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is basic but functional. SEO is minimal with basic meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. The site could benefit from modernization including updated libraries, improved accessibility, and enhanced SEO practices.
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.
