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

Bērnu Paliatīvās aprūpes biedrība is a Latvian non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive psychosocial, medical, and spiritual support to families with children suffering from progressive chronic illnesses and those for whom radical therapies are exhausted. The organization also supports families after the death of a child. The website positions the organization as a trusted resource for families, healthcare professionals, and supporters, emphasizing community and care. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and includes multilingual support (Latvian, English, Russian). The presence of testimonials and government funding references enhances credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins such as Yoast SEO, Ultimate Social Media Icons, and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK for tracking and marketing purposes. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure data transmission. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as cookie consent for GDPR compliance and secure forms for user contact. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration analysis, but the site content and contact information suggest legitimacy and alignment with the organization's mission. Overall, the website is a well-maintained, secure, and trustworthy platform for a specialized non-profit organization. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and vulnerability disclosure could further enhance its security posture and trustworthiness.

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

8 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 organization operates in a niche healthcare non-profit sector focused on pediatric palliative care in Latvia. Its business model centers on providing support services to families and professionals, funded partially by Latvian government grants. The website targets families with children facing life-limiting illnesses, healthcare professionals, and supporters. The presence of multilingual content indicates an intent to reach a broader audience within Latvia's linguistic groups. The organization leverages social media channels for outreach and community engagement. The business appears small in size but well-positioned within its specialized domain, with clear growth potential through project initiatives and community support. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated, and partnerships are primarily governmental or community-based.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Tracking technologies include Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, which are standard but require transparent privacy disclosures. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, representing an area for improvement. The site does not publish a security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are best practices for organizational transparency and security readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to minimize risk from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy disclosures related to tracking technologies and data retention to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a Bootstrap framework for responsive design. It uses jQuery and several custom JavaScript files for UI interactions and form handling. SEO is managed via the Yoast SEO plugin, and social media integration is handled through the Ultimate Social Media Icons plugin. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for analytics and marketing tracking, alongside Facebook SDK for social engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure or resource loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and widely supported, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
