Amber Beverage Group is a well-established global spirits company with a diverse portfolio of alcoholic beverage brands including vodka, tequila, whiskey, and gin. The company operates internationally with a significant presence in the Baltic States, Europe, Australia, and North America, employing over 1,600 people.

Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern plugins and frameworks, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes an age verification gate, but lacks visible advanced security headers and published security policies.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Amber Beverage Group holds a strong market position as a global player in the spirits industry, leveraging a broad brand portfolio and international subsidiaries. Their revenue and volume figures indicate a large-scale operation. The company’s growth from a historical production business to a multinational entity demonstrates strategic expansion and diversification. The website’s content and structure support B2B and B2C engagement, with dedicated sections for brands, production, distribution, sales, and investor relations. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and distribution arms across countries highlights a complex operational ecosystem. Marketing tools and analytics are used moderately, with Google Analytics and Tag Manager integrated. The company maintains compliance with privacy and cookie regulations, enhancing trust with visitors.

Security posture

The website exhibits a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and an age gate to restrict underage access to alcohol-related content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The use of nonce tokens in forms is a positive practice to mitigate CSRF risks. Third-party scripts and plugins are used, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the amberbev.com domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Oxygen Builder, leveraging jQuery and various plugins such as Age Gate and DFlip. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing purposes. The site uses modern web fonts and responsive design techniques, providing good mobile optimization and user experience. Performance is moderate, with some deferred loading and caching mechanisms in place. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is enhanced by Rank Math PRO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format, improving search engine visibility. Hosting details are limited but domain registrar is EuroDNS S.A. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are areas for technical improvement.
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.
