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

SIA LDV is a Latvian-based sawn timber exporter established in 1992, specializing in pallet wood, sawfalling construction timbers, and hardwoods. The company operates globally, exporting to over 50 countries and collaborating with more than 100 regional sawmills. It holds a strong market position as an industry leader in Latvia and is actively involved in the Latvian Timber Producers and Exporters Association. The website reflects a professional business with clear product offerings and contact information. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, FontAwesome, and the Bulma CSS framework. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. However, there is no detected CMS or hosting provider information. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and transparent incident response mechanisms to improve its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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

  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"

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

SIA LDV operates in the manufacturing sector focused on timber export. Its competitive advantages include a long-standing market presence since 1992, extensive partnerships with over 100 sawmills, and a broad international client base spanning more than 50 countries. The business model is B2B export and distribution of various timber products, generating an annual turnover of approximately 8 million euros. The company targets global timber buyers and construction industries. Strategic partnerships include membership in the Latvian Timber Producers and Exporters Association, enhancing credibility and market reach. Growth indicators include steady export volumes and participation in major industry events. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence supporting its market position.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive information in its HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated as no security or abuse contact channels are provided. The use of third-party analytics scripts introduces moderate user tracking but lacks transparency on data retention. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for improvement in compliance and proactive security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Bulma CSS framework, FontAwesome icons, Google Fonts, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure and good SEO meta tags. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident, and performance is moderate without advanced optimization indicators. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations, improve accessibility, and implement privacy best practices to reduce technical risks impacting business operations.
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.
