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

Latvijas Airēšanas federācija is the official Latvian Rowing Federation, providing comprehensive information about rowing sports, events, training, and athlete support in Latvia. The website serves as a central hub for news, competition calendars, results, and regulatory documents related to rowing. It targets athletes, coaches, sports enthusiasts, and supporters within Latvia. The business model is that of a non-profit sports federation focused on promoting and organizing rowing activities nationally. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.4.2 and Colorbox plugins, with Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is accessible and functional but shows signs of aging technology and basic design. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO practices are minimal. The website is hosted securely over HTTPS but lacks modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which may pose security risks. From a security perspective, the site has no visible security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, increasing vulnerability exposure. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, indicating gaps in compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site content is safe and appropriate for general audiences. Overall, the website is a legitimate and functional representation of the Latvian Rowing Federation but requires modernization in technology, improved security practices, and enhanced privacy compliance to better protect users and improve 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

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

    • 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. 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

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 Latvian Rowing Federation holds a national position as the governing body for rowing sports in Latvia. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive coverage of rowing-related activities, including event organization, athlete support, and regulatory oversight. The federation's revenue streams likely include government funding, sponsorships, and donations, as indicated by the donation link on the site. The target customers are athletes, coaches, sports clubs, and rowing enthusiasts. The partnership ecosystem includes government bodies, Olympic committees, and international rowing organizations, reflecting a well-established network. Growth indicators include active event calendars and recent news updates. The federation operates with a small organizational size and focuses on national-level sports promotion.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic with notable vulnerabilities. The use of outdated jQuery 1.4.2 exposes the site to known JavaScript vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR. Incident response mechanisms and security contact channels are not visible, limiting readiness for security events. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no visible secure forms or anti-CSRF measures. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvements to meet modern standards and protect user data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data practices.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance site security.
  4. Introduce secure forms with validation and anti-CSRF tokens to protect user input and prevent attacks.
  5. Establish clear incident response contacts and procedures to improve security event handling and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure relies on legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.4.2 and Colorbox, which are outdated and potentially vulnerable. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating some level of digital maturity. The site uses fixed background images and basic CSS styling, with no detected modern frameworks or CMS platforms. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices or accessibility features. The HTML structure is valid but dated, and SEO practices are basic with minimal meta tags. There is opportunity for modernization by adopting responsive design, upgrading technology stack, and improving accessibility and SEO 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.
