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

UPB AS is a leading industrial group based in Latvia, specializing in technologically complex building construction, including design, production of building materials such as glass, metal, and concrete structures, as well as energy and machinery solutions. The company has over 30 years of experience and a strong export focus primarily targeting Scandinavian markets. Their business model integrates design, manufacturing, and construction services, positioning them as a major player in the Baltic construction and manufacturing sectors. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components, CountUp.js for animated counters, and integrates major marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, with a professional design and clear navigation structure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent with default denial for ad and analytics storage, reflecting good privacy practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits domain trust verification, but the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. Overall, the website presents a strong business credibility and digital maturity with room for improvement in security transparency and WHOIS data availability. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to strengthen 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.

Priority findings

9 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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';…

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

UPB AS holds a strong market position as one of the largest industrial groups in the Baltic region, with diversified subsidiaries focusing on concrete, metal, energy, and construction sectors. Their integrated business model allows them to offer end-to-end solutions from design to construction and manufacturing. The company’s significant export share (around 60%) to Scandinavian countries highlights their competitive advantage and international reach. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and a broad service portfolio indicates a mature and scalable business. Their active social media presence and detailed corporate content support brand trust and customer engagement. Growth indicators include ongoing investments and a large workforce exceeding 1700 employees. The company’s strategic focus on technologically complex projects and Design & Build services positions them well for continued market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that defaults to denying ad and analytics storage, aligning with GDPR requirements. The use of major marketing pixels is transparent and consent-based. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file reduces the ability for external parties to report security issues responsibly. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details and cookie management transparency to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

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.
