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

The Latvian Centre for Performance Art is a small cultural organization dedicated to promoting and supporting performance art in Latvia through projects, publications, and festivals. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, featuring clear navigation and relevant content targeted at artists and cultural audiences. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is hosted on Squarespace's CDN, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. Overall, the site appears legitimate and trustworthy, with active social media presence and clear contact information.

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. 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

  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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 the niche cultural sector focusing on performance art, serving a specialized audience of artists, academics, and cultural professionals. Its business model is non-profit and project-based, organizing events like the Riga Performance Festival and publishing related materials. The website supports its market position by showcasing featured projects and publications, indicating active engagement in the regional arts community. The lack of detailed business registration data is typical for small cultural entities. The presence of social media links and a professional web presence suggests a stable and credible operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, which is a strong baseline for secure communications. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No forms or input fields are present on the main pages, reducing attack surface. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, which could be improved for transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Enhance security headers by adding Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update website security configurations and privacy compliance measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace, leveraging its built-in content management and hosting infrastructure. It uses Typekit and Google Fonts for typography and standard JavaScript and CSS for interactivity and styling. The site loads efficiently with optimized images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present, such as skip links. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but could be further enhanced with structured data for events and publications. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal data collection. The technical setup is modern and stable, suitable for the organization's needs.
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.
