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

ZIBU Ventspils SIA is a Latvian company specializing in the peat industry, with over 20 years of experience in peat extraction, processing, and export. The company operates production sites in Ventspils and Talsi, Latvia, and serves an international B2B market. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and the Gutenberg editor, featuring clear navigation and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and integrates Google Translate and Google Maps with user consent. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled, though additional security headers and DNSSEC could improve resilience. The domain is newly registered in late 2024, which is inconsistent with the company's founding date, suggesting a recent domain acquisition or rebranding. Overall, the website is trustworthy, business-focused, and compliant with privacy regulations.

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

3 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';…

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 holds a solid position in the manufacturing sector of peat products, targeting international markets with a focus on quality and reliability. Its business model revolves around raw material extraction, processing into various peat fractions, and export logistics. The partnership with Gregor Ziegler GmbH in Germany indicates a strategic alliance to strengthen market reach. The website content and structured data reflect a medium-sized enterprise with a clear brand identity and consistent messaging. The absence of terms of service and explicit security policies suggests areas for improvement in corporate transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and additional HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy or X-Frame-Options limits its defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The integration of third-party services like Google Translate and Google Maps is managed with user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could impact preparedness for security events.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Add a terms of service page to improve legal transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Gutenberg editor and custom Go-X theme/plugins, indicating a modern CMS approach. Hosting appears to be with a German registrar, Cronon GmbH, consistent with European hosting standards. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Integration of Google services is done with explicit user consent. The technical stack is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
