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

SIA "Karo Wood" is a Latvian company specializing in the sales, renovation, and manufacturing of wood processing equipment, with a particular focus on roundwood debarking machines. The company operates since 2014 and collaborates with over 16 countries across Europe and Scandinavia. Their services include equipment design, manufacturing, installation, and dismantling of used machinery. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and provides clear contact information, indicating a well-established business presence in the manufacturing sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and service workers for PWA capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized and uses multiple fonts and a photo gallery for visual appeal. However, some security headers are missing, and WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain trust verification. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is good with a privacy policy and cookie banner present. Overall, the website represents a legitimate small manufacturing business with a solid digital presence but could improve security practices and domain transparency. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing incident response contacts to enhance 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.

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 targets B2B clients in the wood processing and manufacturing industries, offering specialized equipment and services. Their market position is regional with international cooperation. The business model focuses on equipment sales, renovation, and custom manufacturing. The website content and social media presence support credibility and customer engagement. Growth indicators include multilingual support and cooperation with multiple countries. Partnerships with local business directories and service providers are evident. The company maintains a professional image with consistent branding and clear service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of explicit security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the privacy policy and cookie banner. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional for the business size and sector.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response information.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and perform periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform (DM_DIRECT) with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.0, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Snowplow Analytics. It uses service workers for PWA functionality and hosts assets on a CDN. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses multiple web fonts for branding consistency. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and CSS management. However, the lack of detected security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the infrastructure supports business needs but could benefit from enhanced security and transparency measures.
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.
