Risk levelHigh

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

Broks mežsaimnieks is a Latvian forestry service company with over 19 years of experience, offering comprehensive forest management services including restoration, maintenance, harvesting, and infrastructure development. The company targets forest owners and land managers in Latvia, emphasizing sustainability and professional expertise. The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and TheGem theme, featuring modern SEO practices and multimedia content. Security posture is good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA implemented, though lacking some security headers and formal policies. Contact information is clearly presented with company domain email and multiple phone numbers. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured but would benefit from improved privacy and cookie policies.

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

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

The company positions itself as a trusted local forestry service provider with a strong family heritage and professional team. Their business model focuses on full-cycle forest management services, catering to private forest owners and possibly small enterprises. The presence of testimonials and social media links indicates active customer engagement and marketing efforts. The website content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a credible market presence. Lack of detailed business registration info and WHOIS data limits deeper verification. The company appears to be small-sized with a niche focus in the forestry sector in Latvia.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, it lacks several important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No visible security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding accessibility improvements and performance optimizations for better user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and TheGem theme, integrating Yoast SEO for search optimization. It loads external resources from Google Fonts, YouTube, and Google Analytics, and uses JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, fancyBox, and Odometer.js for UI enhancements. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and lazy loading for images. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement. No hosting provider details were found. The technical stack is standard for small to medium business websites, providing a good balance of functionality and maintainability.
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.
