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

Vidaus auditorių asociacija (VAA) is a Lithuanian professional association dedicated to internal auditors. The organization provides certifications such as CIA and CRMA, professional training, events, and publishes standards and guidelines relevant to internal auditing. The website targets internal audit professionals and organizations in Lithuania, positioning itself as a key non-profit entity in this sector. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and several professional plugins, including event calendars and multilingual support. The infrastructure includes caching and performance optimization tools, with moderate loading speeds and good mobile responsiveness. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent mechanisms. However, some security headers could be improved, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification.

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. 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"

      • 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"

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention vaa.lt, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for vaa.lt right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Business context

Business profile

VAA operates as a non-profit professional association serving internal auditors in Lithuania. Its business model revolves around membership services, professional certifications, training programs, and hosting industry events. The association benefits from its affiliation with the IIA Institute Lithuania, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website content and structure reflect a focus on education, certification, and community engagement within the internal audit profession. The organization appears to have a small size footprint but holds a significant position in its niche market. The absence of explicit company registration or VAT information on the site is typical for non-profits but could be improved for transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent is actively managed, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt file or public vulnerability disclosure policy is a gap in incident response readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from additional security best practices to strengthen defenses and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response communication.
  3. Fix lazy loading image errors to improve user experience and site performance.
  4. Publish terms of service to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Consider adding explicit company registration and contact phone numbers for enhanced business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, WPBakery for page building, and Slider Revolution for visual content. It uses several plugins for event management, multilingual support, and cookie consent. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses caching via WP Rocket, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. Some minor technical issues include lazy loading image errors and lack of some security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be improved with enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
