Security score

47/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Latvijas Lauku forums is a national-level non-profit organization in Latvia focused on balanced rural development, civic society strengthening, and supporting local initiatives through projects and strategic priorities such as LEADER/SVVA. The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and several plugins, providing a modern and visually appealing platform showcasing their projects, members, and initiatives. Contact information and social media presence are clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security 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

    • 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 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 organization holds a strong position in the Latvian rural development sector with a medium-sized membership base of 82 members and associates. Their business model revolves around collaboration, advocacy, and project implementation to support rural communities. They maintain partnerships with local action groups and have a subsidiary company for consultancy services. The website reflects a well-structured communication channel targeting rural stakeholders, NGOs, and policy makers. Growth indicators include active projects and initiatives, and a visible network of members and friends. The partnership with Aurian Agency for website development indicates professional digital presence.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. No security headers like CSP or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No signs of exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were found. Forms appear to be standard WordPress Contact Form 7 implementations without visible security flaws. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which is a gap in security culture and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response and security policy page to demonstrate security readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct audits to improve inclusivity.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor page builder and several plugins including Slider Revolution, Visual Portfolio, Contact Form 7, and Happy Elementor Addons. The site loads multiple external resources such as Google Fonts and social media SDKs. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented for images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. SEO is supported by Rank Math plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the HTML content.
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.
