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

The Lietuvos regioninių atliekų tvarkymo centrų asociacija (LRATCA) is a Lithuanian non-profit association dedicated to the development, advocacy, and cooperation of regional waste management centers across Lithuania. The organization acts as a representative body for its members, engaging with governmental institutions and international forums to promote effective waste management systems. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, providing relevant news, information about the association's goals, and links to member organizations. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with modern frameworks and libraries, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and appropriate security headers, complemented by GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of direct contact information and security incident response details limits transparency. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query restrictions, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the organization's profile.

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

10 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

LRATCA holds a key position in Lithuania's waste management sector as a collaborative association of regional centers. Its business model focuses on advocacy, legal framework improvement, and professional cooperation rather than commercial activities. The association targets governmental bodies, municipalities, and environmental stakeholders. The website's linkage to multiple regional centers indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The content quality and update frequency suggest active engagement and a stable organizational presence. The lack of commercial advertising or tracking tools aligns with its non-profit nature. Overall, LRATCA demonstrates a focused and credible presence within its sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, indicating a mature security posture. The presence of a cookie consent banner with opt-in mechanism shows compliance with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a security.txt file or explicit incident response contact channels is a gap in vulnerability disclosure readiness. No signs of WAF or blocking mechanisms were found, and no critical vulnerabilities are apparent from the content. The site would benefit from enhanced accessibility features and explicit security policies to further strengthen its security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  3. Implement a Terms of Service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet international standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update Joomla CMS and extensions to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate framework and SP Page Builder, leveraging Bootstrap 5 and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. The site loads modern CSS and JS assets, including Font Awesome icons and Google Fonts, indicating a contemporary tech stack. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and optimized CSS delivery. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive layouts and adaptive content. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and professional web presence suitable for a non-profit association.
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.
