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

The website www.redcross.lv represents the Latvian Red Cross, a recognized national humanitarian organization providing social centers, home care, first aid courses, and humanitarian aid across Latvia. The site is primarily in Latvian with language alternatives for English and Ukrainian, targeting a general audience seeking humanitarian and social services. The business model is non-profit, focusing on community support and health education. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence with official social media links and a clear mission reflected in the website content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 6.6.1 with Yoast SEO and Cookiebot for consent management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and uses modern web technologies, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible HTTP security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR cookie consent requirements, but could enhance transparency with privacy and security documentation.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Latvijas Sarkanais Krusts holds a strong market position as a national humanitarian non-profit in Latvia, offering essential social and health-related services. The organization leverages digital channels for outreach and education, supported by Google Analytics and Cookiebot for user tracking and consent. The business model relies on social service delivery rather than commercial revenue streams. The website's partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and recognized third-party service providers like Google and Cookiebot. Growth indicators are not explicit but the presence of multiple social centers and programs suggests a medium-sized operation. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced privacy and security disclosures to align with best practices and build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism allowing granular user control. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which are important for compliance and trust. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent but would benefit from a clear privacy policy and data protection officer contact. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could be improved with formal documentation and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly outlining data processing practices and user rights.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and cookies to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with up-to-date plugins such as Yoast SEO and Cookiebot, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure. The use of Google Fonts and Google Analytics is standard for performance and analytics needs. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices, including proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No critical technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers to reduce technical risks and enhance user experience.
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.
