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

AP Holding is a diversified business group headquartered in Latvia, established in 2009, with a focus on international trade, IT solutions, media, and cultural projects spanning Europe and Central Asia. The company operates multiple subsidiaries and partner companies specializing in food exports, IT services, media, and creative arts, positioning itself as a regional facilitator of cross-border business and innovation. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting international business partners and investors. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies such as Tailwind CSS and Font Awesome, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. However, the absence of advanced security headers and privacy-related policies indicates room for improvement in security and compliance maturity. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, showing a stable and legitimate online presence. From a security perspective, the site lacks explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and cookie consent, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is fully accessible and safe for general audiences. Overall, the website demonstrates moderate technical and business credibility but requires enhancements in privacy, security, and compliance to reach higher trust levels. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and establishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels to strengthen security posture and regulatory 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

9 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 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

AP Holding operates as a holding company managing a portfolio of subsidiaries primarily in international trade, IT outsourcing, media, and cultural projects. Its market positioning leverages regional expertise in Latvia and Central Asia to facilitate export and IT service delivery across Europe. The business model is diversified, combining export promotion, IT service provision, and media content creation. Revenue streams likely include trade commissions, IT service contracts, and media advertising or subscriptions. The target customer segments include European and Central Asian businesses, investors, and cultural consumers. Growth indicators include the expansion of EU offices for subsidiaries and active promotion of Uzbek IT and commodity exchanges. The partnership ecosystem is broad, involving multiple specialized companies in food, IT, and media sectors, enhancing cross-border cooperation and market reach.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic. While HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No forms or user input fields reduce the attack surface but also limit user engagement. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant opportunities for improvement in policy transparency, technical controls, and compliance adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.
  5. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide and monitor for any vulnerable or outdated libraries or dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern front-end technologies including Tailwind CSS for styling and Font Awesome for icons, contributing to a clean and responsive design. The HTML structure is valid and well-organized, supporting good SEO practices with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting and DNS are managed via Key-Systems GmbH and custom name servers, but DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a security gap. No CMS or backend platform was detected, suggesting a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking and data collection.
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.
