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

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Latvia (SCCL) is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to fostering business relations and cooperation between Sweden and Latvia. It serves a diverse membership base across multiple industries, providing networking opportunities, business support services, and events that promote bilateral trade and cultural exchange. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by partnerships with reputable organizations such as the Embassy of Sweden and Business Sweden. Technically, the website employs a modern but basic technology stack including jQuery, Google Maps API, and cookie consent management. While the site is accessible and functional, there is room for improvement in mobile optimization, accessibility, and implementation of advanced security headers. The site uses HTTPS and has a GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policy with opt-in consent mechanisms, indicating a good level of privacy awareness. Security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adding explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration analysis, but the overall trust indicators and professional presentation suggest legitimacy. Overall, the SCCL website is a credible and professional platform supporting its business mission, with moderate technical sophistication and good privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security practices and technical modernization would further strengthen its digital maturity 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

7 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 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

    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';…

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

SCCL occupies a niche market position as a bilateral chamber of commerce, leveraging historical and economic ties between Sweden and Latvia. Its membership-driven business model focuses on providing value through networking, events, and business facilitation services. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with governmental and business entities, enhancing its credibility and reach. The target audience includes Swedish and Latvian businesses seeking cross-border opportunities. Growth indicators include active event scheduling and new corporate member listings. The website content and structure support a professional image, though direct contact information is limited on the main site, possibly encouraging membership engagement through internal channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy preferences. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for hardening. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could impact readiness and transparency in case of security events. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of reputable external services reduce immediate risk. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience across devices and for users with disabilities.
  3. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional front-end stack with jQuery and several UI libraries such as Owl Carousel and Colorbox. Google Fonts and Google Maps API are integrated for enhanced visual and functional features. CookieConsent2 is used for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with some legacy scripts and minimal mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal but basic HTML5 semantic elements are used. Hosting provider and server details are not disclosed.
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.
