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

AB Timber is a Latvian forestry services company with over 15 years of experience providing a broad range of services including forest inventory, arborist and dendrologist expertise, forest land real estate transactions, and certification consulting (PEFC, FSC, SBP). The company targets forest owners, land buyers, and environmental stakeholders, positioning itself as an independent and professional expert in forestry and urban environmental solutions. The website is built on WordPress using the Kadence theme and includes modern plugins for forms and social media integration. It employs Google Analytics for user tracking and has a moderate performance profile with good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and secure forms, but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though improvements in privacy policy and security headers are recommended.

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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

  4. 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
  • 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

AB Timber operates in the Real Estate and forestry sectors, focusing on forest inventory, arborist services, and forest land transactions. The business model is service-oriented, catering to a niche market in Latvia with certifications that enhance credibility. The company leverages digital tools for client engagement but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which may affect compliance. The presence of certifications and professional content indicates a stable market position with potential for growth. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure contact forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clearer contact information including verified company emails.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Kadence theme and several popular plugins including WPForms Lite and Ultimate Social Media Plus. It integrates Google Analytics for tracking and loads external resources from trusted domains like Google Fonts and Facebook SDK. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
