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

Cross Keys Gin is a premium gin brand with heritage linked to the historic Riga Black Balsam, produced and distributed by Amber Beverage Group. The website targets adult consumers interested in Nordic-inspired spirits, emphasizing natural botanicals and craftsmanship. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and age verification, but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a concern for domain legitimacy, though the website content and company references suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site is professional and compliant with privacy regulations but would benefit from enhanced security transparency and domain registration verification.

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

5 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The company operates in the alcoholic beverage sector, focusing on niche premium gin products with a strong brand story rooted in Latvian heritage. The business model includes production, distribution, and online sales. The target market is adults of legal drinking age, primarily in regions where alcohol consumption is lawful. The website reflects a consistent brand identity and leverages digital marketing tools to engage customers. The parent company, Amber Beverage Group, is based in Luxembourg, indicating a European market focus. The lack of WHOIS data may indicate privacy protection or registration issues, which should be clarified to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website enforces age verification and uses HTTPS, which are positive security measures. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, and there is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Cookie Script is managed with user consent, aligning with GDPR. The absence of a security.txt file and explicit security contacts limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in headers, incident response readiness, and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information.
  3. Verify and publish domain WHOIS registration details to improve trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.

  7. No direct contact phone numbers found; only email contact provided.
  8. No security incident response or vulnerability disclosure information present.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookie Script for privacy compliance. It uses Lottie animations for enhanced visuals. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and responsive design. No hosting provider or CDN information was detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved security headers and accessibility enhancements.
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.
