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

The Latvijas šķirnes zirgu audzētāju asociācija (LSZAA) is a Latvian non-profit association dedicated to improving the genetic potential of Latvian horse breeds through effective selection work, sport horse breeding, and preservation of genetic resources. The website serves as an information hub for members and stakeholders, offering news, educational resources, event information, and access to a horse breed database. The association maintains partnerships with various related organizations and governmental bodies, reinforcing its position in the national equine sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and employs common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and OwlCarousel for UI components and interactivity. Google Analytics and Facebook SDK are used for visitor tracking and social media integration. The site is mobile-optimized with a moderate performance profile and basic accessibility features. However, it lacks advanced SEO and security headers, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers and privacy/cookie policies indicates gaps in compliance and security best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. Overall, the website is legitimate and professionally maintained, with clear contact information and partner affiliations. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis, but the content and structure support a moderate trust level. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response readiness are recommended to enhance the security posture and regulatory adherence of the association's online presence.

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. 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

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

LSZAA operates as a specialized non-profit entity focused on Latvian horse breed improvement and genetic resource management. Its market positioning is national, targeting horse breeders, members, and agricultural stakeholders. The association's business model revolves around member services, educational initiatives, and genetic resource preservation rather than commercial sales. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and government or EU project funding. The partnership ecosystem includes governmental ministries, universities, and equestrian federations, indicating strong sector integration. Growth indicators include active event organization and digital content updates. The website reflects a stable operational presence with moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. The use of third-party libraries is standard but requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to strengthen web security.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and OwlCarousel for UI and interactive elements. Google Analytics and Facebook SDK are integrated for analytics and social media engagement. The site is mobile responsive with a moderate loading performance. However, there is no evidence of advanced frameworks or platforms beyond standard WordPress and JS libraries. The absence of security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for the site's purpose but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
