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

Lighthouse Transitional Care is a small non-profit organization based in Latvia focused on supporting former foster youth aged 18-30. The organization provides mentorship, discipleship, and community support to help these youth transition into healthy adulthood. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring responsive design and clear navigation. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and uses Google reCAPTCHA for form security. However, the site lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, and no direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, which slightly impacts privacy compliance and business credibility scores. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is common for small non-profits and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the site demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, but could improve transparency by publishing security policies and contact information.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 26 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention lighthouselatvia.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for lighthouselatvia.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 occupies a niche market position serving vulnerable former foster youth in Latvia. Its business model is donation and volunteer-driven, with partnerships such as with axiainternational.net for donations. The target audience includes youth in need, volunteers, and donors. The website content and social media presence support community engagement and trust building. The lack of detailed business registration or certification information is typical for small non-profits but could be enhanced for credibility. The organization appears focused on growth through volunteer recruitment and program enrollment.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with HSTS, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and has a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No security headers beyond HSTS were explicitly detected, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and incident response information to improve trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good for a small non-profit but has room for improvement in policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add clear contact information including official support or info emails and phone numbers.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact details.
  4. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

The technical stack is appropriate for the organization's size and needs, with opportunities to enhance security transparency and accessibility.
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.
