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

Ambex is a Latvian-based technology company specializing in website development, e-commerce solutions, content management, and digital marketing services. Their website demonstrates a professional and modern design built on WordPress with Elementor, targeting businesses seeking tailored digital solutions. The company offers comprehensive services from consultation to technical implementation and ongoing support, positioning itself as a reliable local web development partner. Technically, the site uses a mature CMS platform with popular plugins and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA in place, but lacks some security headers and visible privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data limits full domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and contact details suggest a legitimate business. Overall, Ambex presents a credible and professional digital presence with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

Ambex operates in the technology sector, focusing on web development and e-commerce services primarily for Latvian businesses. Their business model is service-oriented, providing end-to-end digital solutions including website creation, SEO optimization, content management, and social media marketing. The company leverages modern web technologies and maintains active social media channels to engage clients. While the website does not disclose founding year or corporate structure, the professional presentation and service offerings indicate a small-sized enterprise with a local market focus. The lack of WHOIS data prevents verification of domain age or registrant details, which is a minor risk factor. The company’s competitive advantage lies in personalized service and comprehensive digital solutions tailored to client needs.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and loads analytics and marketing scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. However, it lacks important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, HSTS) to strengthen site security.
  3. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor page builder and Slider Revolution for dynamic content. It incorporates Bootstrap and jQuery libraries for responsive design and interactivity. Google Fonts are self-hosted for performance optimization. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses caching plugins (WP Rocket) to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with minor areas for enhancement.
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.
