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.

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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

The organization occupies a critical position in Latvia's healthcare sector as the national blood donation center. Its business model is government-funded, focusing on public health and donor engagement. The website targets multiple audiences including donors, medical professionals, and private individuals. Key services include donor registration, blood component processing, mobile donation events, and educational resources. The presence of ISO certifications and transparent public information (budgets, reports) enhances credibility. The organization leverages social media for outreach and uses minimal tracking analytics to respect privacy. Growth indicators include active donor stories and frequent mobile blood donation events. Partnerships appear limited to government and healthcare entities, with no commercial subsidiaries detected.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating GDPR awareness. However, no explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided HTML content, which could be improved to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The use of legacy jQuery Migrate suggests some technical debt that could expose risks if not properly maintained. Forms use POST methods and client-side validation, but server-side protections and CSRF tokens are not visible. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which could be a gap in security culture. Overall, the site is functional and secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Upgrade legacy JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery Migrate, to reduce potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure or security contact page to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Ensure all forms have robust server-side validation and CSRF protection to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Regularly audit and update privacy and security policies to maintain GDPR and NIS2 compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard LAMP-like stack with jQuery and jQuery UI for interactivity, Google Fonts for typography, and Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as font size adjustment and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available. The site uses cookie consent scripts and has structured multi-step forms for donor registration. Technical debt is indicated by the use of jQuery Migrate. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be modernized further for improved security and performance.
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.
