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

Alfa Crewing Bureau JSC is a Lithuanian licensed maritime crewing agency founded in 2011 by a Danish owner. The company specializes in coordinating employment of qualified seamen and experienced workers for various types of vessels and shipyards, serving clients primarily in the Baltic region. Their services include crewing, posting, and facilitating contacts between shipyards and ship owners. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and certifications, positioning the company as a trustworthy small business in the transportation sector. Technically, the website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Fancybox, Swiper, and Plupload, with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA integrated for form security. The site is mobile optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are evident, and security headers are not detected, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good baseline practices such as HTTPS and spam protection on forms but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits restricts domain registration verification, but the visible business indicators and certifications support legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate with recommendations to enhance header security and transparency. The overall risk assessment is low to moderate, with no critical vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, improving accessibility, and adding vulnerability disclosure information 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.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Alfa Crewing Bureau operates in the niche maritime crewing sector, focusing on employment services for seamen and shipyard workers in the Baltic region. Their competitive advantage lies in their licensed status, Danish ownership background, and dual crewing and posting service model. The company targets ship owners, shipyards, and maritime workers, leveraging certifications and a professional online presence to build trust. Revenue streams likely include placement fees and service contracts with clients. Growth indicators include a decade-long operation and visible certifications. The partnership with Texus for website development suggests a professional approach to digital presence. The company maintains a focused service offering without evident diversification or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting form submissions. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate GDPR awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests limited formal security governance. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, suitable for a small business but with room for improvement to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance by adding ARIA attributes and improving keyboard navigation support.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and demonstrate security commitment.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Fancybox for modals, Swiper for sliders, and Plupload for file uploads, indicating a moderately modern front-end stack. The presence of Modernizr suggests some feature detection for compatibility. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly identified. The site uses HTTPS with no visible issues, and performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured JSON-LD data found. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site could benefit from improved technical SEO and enhanced security configurations.
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.
