Amberfarm.lv is a Latvian small business specializing in the cultivation and processing of sea buckthorn products, including oils, berries, juices, and seedlings. The company operates an e-commerce platform and offers tourism and masterclass services related to their products. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and optimized for SEO, targeting health-conscious consumers and natural product enthusiasts primarily in Latvia. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with WooCommerce and employs modern plugins such as WPBakery and Slider Revolution. Security measures include HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA v3, though additional HTTP security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but lacking a cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts.

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

11 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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. Security headers

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Amberfarm.lv holds a niche position in the Latvian retail and e-commerce market for bioproducts derived from sea buckthorn. Their business model combines product sales with experiential tourism and educational offerings, enhancing customer engagement. The company leverages SEO and digital marketing tools to reach its target audience. The presence of biocertified products and clear contact information supports credibility. However, the lack of visible security policies and incident response contacts suggests room for maturity in governance. The absence of WHOIS data limits external verification but internal content consistency indicates a legitimate operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot measures via Google reCAPTCHA v3. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the site is secure for typical e-commerce use but would benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance given the use of tracking scripts.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, plugins, and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Attempt to retrieve and monitor WHOIS data to verify domain legitimacy and detect any suspicious changes.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution for content and visual management. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are integrated for marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate, with caching and minified CSS/JS assets observed. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small retail business, though there is opportunity to improve security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
