Risk levelHigh

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

Ludzas amatnieku centrs is a small local cultural center based in Ludza, Latvia, focusing on traditional crafts, cultural excursions, workshops, and events. The website provides basic information about their services and contact details but lacks advanced digital maturity features such as privacy policies or security disclosures. Technically, the site uses legacy charset encoding and relies on older JavaScript libraries like jQuery and the Skel framework. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are implemented for user tracking, but no cookie consent mechanisms or privacy policies are present, indicating low privacy compliance. Security posture is weak with no visible security headers or HTTPS verification in the provided data. The absence of WHOIS data limits trust in domain legitimacy, although the website content and contact information appear consistent with a legitimate small cultural organization.

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

11 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
    • 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

The business operates in the cultural and tourism sector, targeting visitors interested in Latgalian crafts and heritage. Its business model is service-oriented, offering excursions, costume making, workshops, and events. The website positions the organization as a local cultural hub with a niche market. The presence of social media links and a professional website footer with contact details supports basic credibility. However, the lack of privacy and security policies and absence of WHOIS data reduce overall trustworthiness. The company appears to have limited digital marketing and compliance maturity, which may impact growth and partnership opportunities.

Security posture

The website's security posture is minimal. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided. The use of outdated charset encoding and older JavaScript libraries may expose the site to security risks. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used without visible cookie consent, which may pose GDPR compliance issues. The lack of WHOIS data further complicates trust assessment. Overall, the site requires significant improvements in security and privacy to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Update website charset to UTF-8 and modernize JavaScript libraries to reduce security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy charset (windows-1257) which is outdated and may cause encoding issues. The tech stack includes jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Colorbox, and the Skel framework for responsive design. No CMS is detected. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data. No accessibility features are evident. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available. The site structure and navigation are simple but functional. Technical debt is present due to outdated technologies and lack of modern security practices.
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.
