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

Latvijas Kosmētiķu un Kosmetologu asociācija (LKKA) is a well-established non-profit professional association founded in 1995, representing over 600 cosmetologists and related professionals across Latvia. The organization focuses on enhancing the prestige of the cosmetology profession through certification, events, training, and member services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence targeting industry professionals in Latvia. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 5, JavaScript ES6+, LogRocket for session monitoring, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility and SEO could be improved. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, but lack of security headers and incident response information indicates room for enhancement. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is good with GDPR-aligned cookie and privacy policies. However, WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust verification. Contact information is complete and professional, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image suitable for its non-profit association role. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and SEO/accessibility would further strengthen its digital maturity and trustworthiness.

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

7 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 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 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

LKKA holds a strong market position as the primary professional association for cosmetologists in Latvia, with a stable membership base and recognized industry presence. Its business model centers on member certification, educational events, and professional development services. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event fees, and certification services. The target customer segment is industry professionals within Latvia. The organization demonstrates growth through regular events and digital engagement. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the website. The association maintains a clear and consistent brand with trust signals such as official registration numbers and member login portals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and secure cookie flags are implemented. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of third-party analytics and session replay tools like LogRocket introduces moderate tracking but is managed with consent. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  4. Enhance website accessibility and SEO to improve user experience and search engine visibility.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing terms of service and data protection officer contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and maintainable technology stack with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, JavaScript ES6+ for dynamic content, and third-party services such as LogRocket and Google Tag Manager for analytics and monitoring. The site is mobile optimized and loads with moderate performance. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly identified. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses a custom API backend at admin.lkka-b.lv for user and content management. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and SEO are recommended. Security technical risks include missing security headers and lack of incident response mechanisms.
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.
