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

Latvijas Inženierkonsultantu asociācija (LIKA) is a Latvian professional association established in 2003 to promote the engineering consultant profession, enhance member qualifications, and improve competitiveness in the construction sector. The website serves as an information hub for members and the public, offering news, publications, and member information. The organization targets engineering consultants and construction professionals primarily within Latvia. Technically, the website uses a Foundation CSS framework with jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance documentation. Contact information is clearly presented, but privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in security and privacy 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

    • 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. 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

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

LIKA operates as a non-profit association focused on professional development and industry representation in the Latvian engineering consulting sector. Its market position is well-established nationally, serving a niche audience of engineering consultants and construction professionals. The business model revolves around membership services, industry news dissemination, and publication sales. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides essential services such as member listings and contact channels. There is no evidence of commercial advertising or extensive analytics, indicating a focus on member service rather than monetization. The association's partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The contact form includes client-side validation but no visible advanced protections like CAPTCHA or anti-bot measures. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, and no security certifications are displayed. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential GDPR compliance issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard web security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance form security with CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent spam and abuse.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern but straightforward technology stack including Foundation CSS framework, jQuery, and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. The site is mobile responsive and offers good navigation clarity. Performance appears moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. No CMS or hosting provider information is discernible. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of advanced security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
