Risk levelMedium

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

AMSilk is a biotechnology company specializing in sustainable silk protein innovation aimed at revolutionizing various industries with biogenius materials. The website presents a professional image with clear branding and a focus on sustainable biotech solutions. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with modern web technologies and includes a cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, indicating some level of privacy awareness. However, the absence of a publicly accessible privacy policy and terms of service, as well as missing WHOIS registration details, slightly detracts from the overall trustworthiness. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and explicit data protection policies. Overall, the website is functional, well-designed, and targets industry professionals interested in biotech materials.

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

4 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. 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

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

AMSilk positions itself as an innovator in the sustainable biotechnology materials sector, focusing on silk protein applications. The business model appears B2B, targeting industries seeking sustainable material alternatives. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages social media channels such as Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter to engage with its audience. The lack of detailed business registration data and contact information on the website limits deeper business intelligence insights. The company likely operates in a medium-sized capacity given the professional website and industry focus. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the provided data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, which are positive security indicators. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, and there is no visible privacy policy or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  4. Consider publishing a security incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with custom theming and uses JavaScript and CSS for frontend functionality. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, indicating compliance efforts. The site appears moderately performant and mobile-optimized. SEO meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented, supporting good search engine visibility and social media sharing. No hosting provider or CDN information was identified. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are areas for technical improvement. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility measures.
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.
