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

Latvijas Pārtikas Uzņēmumu Federācija (LPUF) is a prominent non-governmental federation representing over 60% of the Latvian food production market. The organization advocates for food producers, provides informational support, and promotes the sustainable development of the food processing sector in Latvia and abroad. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear governance and mission statements. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with Yootheme and UIkit frameworks, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF tokens, and email obfuscation, though some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent banner but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained, supporting the federation's business credibility.

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

9 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

LPUF holds a leading market position in Latvia's food industry federation sector, representing a broad range of companies from small to large. Its business model focuses on advocacy, regulatory representation, and promotion of Latvian food products. The federation's partnerships with sites like latvianfoods.eu and karotite.lv indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The website content targets industry stakeholders and members, emphasizing sector development and export competitiveness. The absence of detailed financial or founding year data limits deeper business intelligence but the organization's scope and market share suggest a medium-sized entity with significant influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled, CSRF protection, and email address obfuscation to reduce spam. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but the absence of a privacy policy page is a compliance shortfall. Overall, security practices are good but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, processing, and user rights to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add an incident response or vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and security culture.
  4. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to gain insights while maintaining user privacy.
  5. Regularly review and update CMS and third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with Yootheme templates and UIkit frontend framework, indicating a modern and modular technical stack. JavaScript libraries such as Awesomplete and Webcomponents.js enhance UI interactivity. The site is mobile-optimized and uses deferred script loading for performance. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the organization and website. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image delivery and caching.
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.
