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

Latvijas Biškopības biedrība (LBB) is a well-established non-profit organization founded in 1994, dedicated to supporting beekeepers and promoting honey consumption in Latvia and Estonia. The website serves as an informational and promotional platform, targeting beekeepers, honey consumers, and related stakeholders. The organization maintains a moderate digital presence with social media integration and an e-commerce partner site. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and providing a responsive user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though there is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, represents compliance and trust gaps. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency 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

6 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

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

LBB occupies a niche market position as a national-level beekeeping association with a clear mission to support and educate beekeepers while promoting honey consumption. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on community engagement and awareness campaigns funded partly by EU projects. The organization leverages partnerships with related domains such as stropsveikals.lv (e-commerce) and medus.lv (honey promotion). Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing projects. The website's content and structure reflect a focus on education and community services rather than commercial sales.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and HSTS, reducing risks of man-in-the-middle attacks. However, the lack of additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and absence of documented security policies or incident response contacts limit its security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party widgets (Elfsight) introduces potential risk vectors that should be monitored. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting to improve trust and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and widgets for security vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to foster transparency and community trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a managed platform that provides built-in HTTPS and performance optimizations. The tech stack includes Google Fonts and Elfsight widgets for enhanced functionality. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern JavaScript libraries provided by Squarespace. Performance is moderate, with some potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but could be enhanced with structured data and richer content. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking services, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
