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

Anaerobic holding SIA is a Latvian renewable energy company specializing in biometane production through biogas stations and agricultural land management. The company operates multiple biogas stations with electrical capacities around 1-2 MW each, processing biological waste and manure to generate electricity and heat for local communities and agricultural use. Supported by major Baltic pension funds and European financial institutions, Anaerobic holds a strong market position as a leading biometane producer in Latvia. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common libraries such as jQuery and Flexslider, with Google Fonts for typography. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. HTTPS is enabled, but security headers are missing, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are evident. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS but lacks important security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms such as a privacy policy and cookie consent. No exposed vulnerabilities or sensitive data were detected, but improvements are needed to meet GDPR and general security best practices. Overall, the website and business appear legitimate and professional, with clear contact information and trust signals from reputable investors. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust analysis. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes to enhance security posture and compliance.

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

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

  3. 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

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

Anaerobic holding SIA operates in the renewable energy and agriculture sectors, focusing on biogas and biometane production in Latvia. The company benefits from strong financial backing by BaltCap Infrastructure Fund and major Baltic pension funds, as well as European banks, indicating solid investment and growth potential. Their business model integrates energy production with agricultural land management, providing diversified revenue streams. The target customers include local municipalities, agricultural businesses, and energy consumers in Latvia. The company has a medium size with multiple biogas stations and significant land holdings. The partnership ecosystem includes major financial institutions, enhancing credibility and market reach. Growth indicators include expansion of biogas stations and agricultural operations. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and relevant content.

Security posture

The website's security posture is basic but functional. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in headers, compliance documentation, and formal security processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery and Flexslider for interactive elements and Google Fonts for typography. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical stack is common and stable but could benefit from modernization and performance tuning. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but security and compliance enhancements are recommended.
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.
