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

LATVIJAS VIRVES VILKŠANAS FEDERĀCIJA (LVVF) is a Latvian sports federation dedicated to organizing and promoting tug of war competitions and related activities. The website serves as an information hub for events, results, athlete registrations, and seminars, targeting sports enthusiasts and athletes within Latvia. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence and provides clear contact details, including phone, email, and physical address. The site is primarily informational and supports the federation's mission to develop the sport nationally. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins and libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Firebase. It employs the Gutenberg editor and includes structured data for SEO and social media optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, although some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure contact forms but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the website content and branding suggest a legitimate entity. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy for its intended audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

  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"

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

LVVF operates as a national sports federation focused on tug of war in Latvia, positioning itself as the authoritative body for the sport. Its business model is non-profit and community-oriented, relying on organizing events, publishing results, and providing training and seminars. The federation targets athletes, sports clubs, and enthusiasts, fostering growth and participation in tug of war. Partnerships with governmental sports bodies and international tug of war organizations are evident through linked domains and logos. The website's regular content updates and event coverage indicate active engagement with its community. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event sponsorships, and government or sports grants. The federation's digital presence is functional but could be enhanced with better privacy and security policies to align with modern compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and contact forms use a reputable plugin (Contact Form 7), which suggests secure data handling for user inputs. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, while the site is not critically vulnerable, it would benefit from implementing recommended security headers, privacy policies, and incident response mechanisms to strengthen its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Firebase integration. It uses the Gutenberg editor for content management and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media optimization. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and gstatic. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. However, no advanced caching or CDN usage was detected from the HTML content. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA landmarks and skip links present. SEO is good with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the federation's needs but could be enhanced for security and performance.
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.
