Risk levelHigh

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

Latvijas Ritenbrauksanas federacija operates as the official Latvian Cycling Federation, managing cycling sports activities, licensing, and national teams within Latvia. The website serves as an information hub for athletes, clubs, and organizers, offering news, event calendars, licensing details, and training opportunities. The organization holds a clear national position as the governing body for cycling sports in Latvia and the Baltic region. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with common front-end libraries such as jQuery, Font Awesome, and Owl Carousel. The site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized, with good navigation and content relevance. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and privacy/cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the organization's identity, enhancing legitimacy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the site is professionally maintained with good business credibility but should enhance its privacy compliance and security posture to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

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

10 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

  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 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 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 · 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

The federation operates as a non-profit entity in the transportation and sports sector, targeting cyclists, sports clubs, and event organizers primarily in Latvia and the Baltic states. Its business model revolves around licensing, event management, and athlete development. The website reflects a stable market position with partnerships and regional influence. Revenue streams likely include licensing fees and sponsorships. The presence of detailed documentation and social media engagement indicates active community involvement and transparency. Strategically, the federation could benefit from expanding digital services, improving privacy and security compliance, and enhancing user engagement through interactive features.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but lacks several best practices. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks. No evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security incident response contacts was found. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which may lead to GDPR compliance gaps. The site uses HTTPS (implied by base URL) but no explicit SSL configuration details were provided. Regular updates of Joomla and plugins are essential to mitigate vulnerabilities. Incident response readiness appears minimal, with no dedicated security contacts. The security culture could be improved by adopting formal policies and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish security contact information to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS, leveraging standard web technologies including jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. The front-end includes responsive design elements and carousel components for content display. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The site lacks advanced technical configurations such as HTTP security headers and structured data beyond Open Graph tags. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
