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 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

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 church operates as a non-profit religious institution focusing on spiritual services, community engagement, and cultural preservation. It holds a strong position within the local religious community as the largest Lutheran church in Daugavpils. The website links to several partner organizations including the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lutheran Academy, and Diaconia Center, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include donations and event sponsorships. The target audience is primarily local Latvian Lutherans and cultural visitors. The website's consistent branding and content quality support its credibility and community trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and privacy-conscious configurations such as IP anonymization in Google Analytics and a cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a security.txt file, and does not provide clear incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of detailed security policies and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents or abuse reports to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations such as GDPR.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern tech stack with integration of Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and hCaptcha for bot mitigation. It appears to be hosted on a platform supporting Mono CMS, with external assets served via CDN. The site is mobile-optimized and loads with moderate performance. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and accessibility compliance. The site lacks visible security headers which could be added to reduce risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the church's digital presence effectively but could benefit from security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
