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

AmberBirch, SIA is a Latvian manufacturing company specializing in the production of veneer chipboard made from high-quality birch veneer logs. The company serves industrial clients requiring wood-based products for household items and construction. AmberBirch is part of the AmberStone Group, a diversified holding company active in multiple sectors including agriculture, shipping, renewable energy, and wood processing. The company holds FSC certification, underscoring its commitment to sustainable forestry and product quality. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with the Enfold theme, providing clear product information and company background. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and limited security headers indicate room for improvement in compliance and security transparency. The domain WHOIS data was unavailable due to query limits, limiting verification of domain registration details. Overall, AmberBirch presents as a legitimate medium-sized manufacturing business with a solid market position in Latvia.

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.

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

AmberBirch operates within the manufacturing sector, focusing on veneer chipboard production and logistics services. Its affiliation with AmberStone Group provides strategic advantages including diversified business interests and financial backing. The company targets industrial and commercial customers requiring wood products, emphasizing quality and logistics flexibility. The FSC certification enhances its export potential and market trust. The website's multilingual subdomains suggest an international outreach strategy. The lack of visible social media presence and limited online marketing tools indicate a traditional or B2B-focused marketing approach. AmberBirch's business model centers on product quality, certification, and tailored logistics, positioning it as a reliable supplier in the wood processing industry.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The site uses standard WordPress and jQuery libraries without visible outdated or vulnerable versions. Cookie consent mechanisms appear partially implemented but lack explicit policy documentation. Overall, the security posture is moderate with opportunities to enhance header configurations, transparency, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to facilitate security issue reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.4.5 using the Enfold theme, leveraging jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Fonts for typography. The Breeze plugin is used for link prefetching, indicating some performance optimization efforts. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is limited. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected in the HTML content. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved compliance documentation.
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.
