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

The website 'ziedzeme.lv' represents a Latvian non-profit organization dedicated to rural development, innovation promotion, and strengthening the rural economy. It targets rural communities and stakeholders in Latvia, offering services such as local development strategies, project competitions, and collaboration initiatives. The site is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Google Maps API, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The website demonstrates a good level of digital maturity with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, ensuring secure communications. Privacy compliance is addressed with a GDPR-compliant privacy policy and a cookie consent banner with opt-in/out mechanisms. However, explicit terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts are not present, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional, well-structured, and trustworthy, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to query limits, limiting domain registration 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

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

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 operates in the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on rural development in Latvia. It maintains an active presence on Facebook and Instagram, indicating engagement with its community. The business model revolves around supporting community-driven projects and collaborations, with a niche market position in Latvian rural development. The website content and navigation are clear and relevant to its audience. There is no evidence of commercial activities or revenue streams on the site, consistent with a non-profit entity. The absence of detailed company registration or VAT information suggests a small-sized organization. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but collaboration projects are highlighted. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced transparency in terms of service and security policies to strengthen stakeholder confidence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. The use of reCAPTCHA Enterprise on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. Security headers are minimal, with only HSTS detected; additional headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options would improve defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy page. However, the lack of a security policy or incident response contact limits the organization's readiness to handle security incidents publicly. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhanced policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Consider including verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the contact page for better accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a managed CMS platform, ensuring baseline security and performance optimizations. It uses Google Fonts and Google Maps API for enhanced user experience and location services. The inclusion of reCAPTCHA Enterprise indicates attention to form security. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with external resources. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The absence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies suggests low technical complexity but reliable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers for a more robust technical posture.
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.
