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

GoWood is a well-established Latvian company specializing in the production of firewood and kindling products, with over 10 years of experience. The company operates multiple manufacturing plants and is recognized as one of the largest producers of winter fuel products in Latvia. Their business model focuses on large-scale manufacturing and distribution of renewable energy products, emphasizing sustainability through the use of solar energy and wood residues. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting both business and consumer markets for winter fuel needs. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, featuring modern web technologies and multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and explicit privacy/cookie policies suggests room for improvement. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, but enhancing privacy compliance and security headers would strengthen its posture.

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

8 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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"

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

GoWood holds a strong market position in Latvia's energy sector as a major firewood and kindling producer. Their competitive advantage lies in large-scale production capacity, multiple factory locations, and commitment to sustainable practices. The business model is manufacturing-centric with direct sales and an associated e-shop partner domain (candowe.lv). The target customers include both retail consumers and commercial buyers needing winter fuel. Growth indicators include ongoing expansion with new manufacturing plants. The company is supported by Latvian government export assistance programs, indicating strategic growth and export orientation. The partnership ecosystem includes related e-commerce platforms. The website content and structure support clear communication of business capabilities and values.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking explicit privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which may pose regulatory risks under GDPR. No known vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the site content or scripts. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy notices, and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable or outdated components are in use.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data availability or use domain privacy services transparently to improve domain registration trust signals.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and Elementor Pro for page building, supported by Autoptimize for performance optimization and ShortPixel for image compression. Google Fonts and YouTube embeds are used for enhanced user experience. The site loads moderately fast with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by All in One SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb markup. Accessibility is basic but present. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
