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

SIA Biowood operates an e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of wood-based products such as pellets, briquettes, firewood, and garden greenhouses. The company targets a Latvian audience seeking quality wood products at competitive prices. The website demonstrates a consistent brand presence and offers customer support through live chat and callback forms, enhancing user engagement and trust. The business model is retail-focused with direct-to-consumer sales and delivery services, positioning Biowood as a niche player in the regional energy and retail sectors. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, some security headers are missing, and no explicit security or privacy certifications are displayed, indicating room for improvement in security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and implements reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicate awareness of privacy compliance, though no dedicated security policy or incident response contacts are found. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and contact information suggest a legitimate small business operation. Overall, the website is professional, user-friendly, and secure enough for its business scope, but could benefit from enhanced security headers, explicit security policies, and published vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen trust 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

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

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

Business profile

Biowood holds a niche market position in Latvia as a supplier of wood pellets, briquettes, firewood, and garden greenhouses. Its competitive advantages include a focus on quality products, guaranteed secure payment, reliable delivery, and customer service accessibility. The business model is direct retail e-commerce with an emphasis on online sales and customer engagement via live chat and callback requests. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and possibly value-added services such as delivery and consultation. The target customers are residential and small commercial buyers interested in sustainable wood energy and garden solutions. The company maintains active social media channels to promote products and offers, indicating a growing digital marketing strategy. Partnerships with payment providers and logistics are implied but not explicitly detailed. Strategic observations suggest the company could expand by enhancing security compliance and broadening product offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protecting forms against automated abuse. Cookie consent and privacy policy presence indicate compliance with GDPR. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The site does not expose sensitive data in HTML, and no known vulnerable libraries are detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a modern front-end leveraging jQuery and IntersectionObserver for lazy loading images. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam and bot protection. The site loads asynchronously scripts to optimize performance and uses minified CSS and JS resources. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by meta descriptions, Open Graph, and Twitter Card tags. However, no explicit hosting provider information is found. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and security headers. The technical stack is appropriate for a small to medium e-commerce business but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
