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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

LFF holds a strong market position as the national football federation in Latvia, operating as a non-profit government-related entity. Its business model focuses on sports governance, event organization, education, and fan engagement, supported by sponsorships and partnerships with major brands like Adidas and Sportland. The federation targets football players, coaches, clubs, and fans, providing a broad range of services from grassroots to professional levels. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, merchandise sales, ticketing partnerships, and educational programs. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving sportswear brands, media outlets, and technology providers. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with strategic digital engagement and community outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, session management, and CSRF protection cookies. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly visible, which could be enhanced to improve security transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the organization's profile but could benefit from additional hardening and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy including incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Ensure all cookies, especially session and security tokens, have Secure and HttpOnly flags set to prevent interception and cross-site scripting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET MVC technology, leveraging a variety of JavaScript libraries and plugins such as jQuery, FancyBox, and Cycle2 for UI enhancements. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Crazy Egg, indicating a data-driven approach to user engagement. Hosting is provided via Cloudflare, offering DNS and security services. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDNs. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and formal security policies would strengthen the infrastructure.
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.
